    We'll definitely need a video when it's cranked up.

    No because I need to run an ignition control system on it which I haven't settled on any yet, plus its a pain to run one outside of the chassis. What im finding is the ECU's out there that do what I need are over-kill that are aimed at EFI or systems that are simple and dont provide spark advance. I need something in between. I expect it to sound like a carb'd boxer in stock trim. Im assuming it will out-pull my koenig?

    Newman, perhaps you could have a look at 123ignition (no affiliation), they make a programmable ignition system that fits completely inside the distributor housing, including vacuum advance. Normally it is a unit where they supply a complete drop-in distributor, but perhaps it is possible for them to build the electronic unit inside the distributor body you have (or maybe even a new one one made from scratch).
    Next to the physical issue there is the thing that they preferably need to reliably work in tandem, since you will probably have 2 6-cylinder systems in parallel. That shouldn't be too difficult to realise but depends on the precision of the units.

    Thanks for the info. If I use a Haltech I can run the twin distributor option where Im using two outputs only to trigger the ignitors alternately for each bank. Problem is the ECU can do 90% more than I want which has an associated cost.

    Newman, will "my" car be ready before it snows? Can't wait to see/hear the video when it's cranked up.
