<VV> Corvair electronic controls

[Tom Berg]

Say, this bring to mind the old Crane vs. Pertronix (spelling?) electronic 
ignition argument. Shall we do that again? 


I vote for Crane, because the unit on our '64 110 engine has worked flawlessly 
for years, while I experienced an inconvenient failure (in the Mojave desert) of 
a Pertronix unit on the San Diego club's Corvan, Rescue 921, while returning 
home from the CORSA convention in Albuquerque. The engine still ran, but badly. 
You guys and your Pertronix units! I said to the old pharts when we got home.

...already seen a 'Vair with its engine fitted with electronic fuel 
injection and ignition, and cruise control.
