RE: [T3] electronic ignition

	I thought the optical idea had long ago fallen out of favor because 
	they were sensitive to dirt. 

	>>>>This is the kind of info I need.  The guy said that the only
thing that stopped his 4x4 with the Crane unit was the steam when he went to
clean his truck *after* he'd buried it in the bush.

	Replacing the points on the road is a 
	lot harder than it sounds unless you have your tools, dwell meter, 
	and timing light.

	>>>>I've been stuck on the side of the road enough times that I can
fudge it well enough to get me home (and then break out the meter, etc.).

	Thanks for the distro #.  The correct part for the 71 FI Type 3 is:
1847-V.  Pertronix sells it for $108.
