 Was wondering if Pete of Yelodog fame, or anyone else with the experience, could share their thoughts on the Electromotive "distributorless" ignition system.  Now that it has been in service for some time, are there any issues with the system, that could not be resolved to your satisfaction, and given the choice, would you do it again?

Just thinking out loud, but if your having issues with your current distributor or just want to replace it with a rebuilt unit from the Club Store, and then start adding a Petronix system, and the MSD or Crane  hardware, your well on your way toward being in the Electromotive ballpark, dollarwise. Then modifying the distributor for use with 40 or 45 Dells, making adjustments in the PIA location  vs. the relative ease of working on the Electromotive unit (in Yelodog's case) - it starts to look even better.

Ok, there is some fabrication envolved, and machine shop work, and it is a pretty darn expensive package to add to a sports car, whose value we all wish would appreciate a little faster, but is there any more downside?
