Then there's they type like me...not content with a worn-out 25D4 (wrong
P/N, too) for my '67 MGB, I adapted a (not worn out) Hitachi distributor
from a 1983 Honda Civic.  More work than 10 years worth of point and
condenser changes invested in the swap (!), but the higher spark energy
(plug gap can open up to 0.041"), no current draw when the engine's not
turning (and the ignition switch is "on"), etc. made it worthwhile.  I guess
I'm a tinkerer!

YEAH, MORE BEER IS BETTER!  Time for a good stout right now, I'd say.
