Hi Doug,
I agree with your comments on electronic ignitions; however, I do have
one questions.  It's about the ECU brain box issue.  I have heard that
the chrome box (I think) and some other boxes will retard the timing at
higher RPMs.  Is that true?  Is it programmed into the box to retard
timing at certain RPMs?

Thanks,
Ken

PS:  the ECU is sometimes called a 'brain box',  this is a real
misnomer.  the ECU has an much brains as a voltage regulator or
even a horn relay!  in fact, it acts very much like a voltage 
regulator, in many ways.  its a switch that opens and closes a
ground signal to the coil's negative post based on the precisely timed
signals coming from the pickup in the distributor. no brains.

oh well...  [ramble mode off]
