And what day did the NuRex whirligig fail? (or I guess I could just read all the 71 pages!)

It failed in the first few days of the trip. I do not recall which one. It is a very interesting log of their travels.

I'll have to read thru it at home later. I could only open about a 4th of the pages and none of the pictures here at work.

I've had an F/S Distributor in mine Tudor for about 5-6 years with out any issues but you will get a lot of feedback from both sides on this one.

I would install the Front Street Zipper distributor. Centrifugal advance, electronic ignition while retaining the looks of the original distributor. If you have doubts, carry your OEM distributor with you.

ive been watching for a B distributor, I think that would be the best if I can find one. im not sold on the electronic stuff, ive had probs with petronix in other stuff before

who is the fellow that has B distributors? does he have a website?

edit found them thanks I think maybe that is the rout to go if they have one
