PS- you probably already know this, but yeah, I followed your drop down that rabbit hole with great interest.

I did know that, but thanks, Al.

The problem was ignition. I really, really wanted the "bundle o' snakes" distributor and the two coils hanging off the shroud, but the whole thing would have worked so very much better with a proper crank-fire setup. In the end, I ruined the heads (and probably the bottom end) when my stupid Comp-u-Fire module loosened up down at the Tour d' Smo, and I didn't have the 7mm socket I needed to fix the issue.

The uncontrolled preignition and backfiring almost burned the car down and certainly ruined the heads (which I shipped to Denmark to be fixed, and will apparently never see again).

Next time I'm looking for that King-Kong motor (for Projekt X), it'll just be a Pat Downs 2332 with IDAs and megajolt.
