Hmmm... never thought of that.  Probably a good place to start...  Though,
maybe this would be a good time to do an EI swap.  I saw something a while
back on a EI dist swap, but I think it was for the R16's.  What about EI
setups for U20's?  Points (pun intended) will be awarded for low cost, ease
of acquisition, and factory-parts retention (eg, a complete dist from a '75
B210)

...anyone, anyone?
