Gary & Ron,

I'll be in the Winter Garden area in early January.  Winter Garden is about
an hour from Leesburg.

If Ron hasn't already checked it out for you I may have time to help
depending on my schedule.

Keep me posted.

Kevin
Tuscarora, Pa

&gt;<br>
&gt;=C2=A0 =C2=A0 =C2=A0 =C2=A0 =C2=A0 =C2=A0 I am at a loss at this time. =
My 1959 bugeye was sitting for 7 years in storage. I got it running<br>
&gt;=C2=A0 =C2=A0 in two days and thought everything was fine. Did put in e=
lectronic ignition on the third day and<br>
&gt;=C2=A0 =C2=A0 felt that it was doing very well. Gave it to my son in Fl=
orida and then problems began. Mostly it quits<br>
&gt;=C2=A0 =C2=A0 on the road at various times of running and doesn&#39;t w=
ant to start again without a lot of well chosen<br>
&gt;=C2=A0 =C2=A0 words. He doesn&#39;t want to run it on the road anymore.=
 So here is the question. Have anyone used the<br>
&gt;=C2=A0 =C2=A0 electronic ignition? Have any problems with it, or should=
 I go back to points and condenser?<br>
&gt;<br>
&gt;=C2=A0 =C2=A0 =C2=A0 =C2=A0 =C2=A0 =C2=A0 Another thing is that at time=
s, other electronic items stop working. Could it be a bad ignition/<br>
&gt;=C2=A0 =C2=A0 lighting switch? If this is the whole problem, does someo=
ne have a spare ignition/lighting switch to<br>
&gt;=C2=A0 =C2=A0 sell? He sure likes that vehicle, is in Florida, and I am=
 in Wisconsin. Would like to help him out for<br>
&gt;=C2=A0 =C2=A0 Christmas and end his frustration. Have looked at Victori=

&gt;=C2=A0 =C2=A0 above mentioned items. So your help would be greatly appr=
