 be worth looking into since they guarantee the unit for 30 days on
 trial. Lets keep these Alpines on the road and reliable. Brent Kasl >>

Be sure to carry along a spare set of points and condenser (and the screw to
hold it down) anyway. There've been one or two posts of these units going
bad.

Mine's been working A-OK for about three years or 35,000 miles.
