Subject: [TR] 123 Ignition distributor in a TR6?

Has anyone had success with the installation of a '123 Ignition' distributor
in a TR6 while keeping the mechanical tach drive operational?

My search of the List archives has revealed lots of desire to do so, but I
couldn't find any solutions.  Some have converted their TR6 tachs to an
electronic version, but without much apparent success.  Bob Danielson was
thinking of installing the 123 system, but went to his fuel injection system
instead.

There appears to be a company in The Netherlands that will install the 123
unit in an existing TR6 distributor housing:

Has anyone had any experience with such a distributor conversion?  Is there
a similar conversion available in North America?

It would be nice if there was a way to install the 123 Ignition system
without bastardizing the rest of the car.

Thoughts anyone?

Thanks so much in advance,
