Rex- Thanks for the update, now I'm really sorry I missed it. If you've a chance check out Kevin Meeks' short video clips of the get together. I, for one, would like a copy of any photos that you might happen to get scanned in.

I have a couple of questions about originality and increased reliability on the electrical modifications. I have been considering an electronic ignition on my largely stock daily driver SV. While you, Jarrid, and a few other knowledgeable voices have espoused this modification, it appears from your recent trip that it is not without its own problems. If I'm not (currently) experiencing any problems, is it worth it and how do I go about it in a fashion that minimizes the changes to the stock configuration and keeps the switch back as easy as possible?
