OK, so then an 010 doesn't sound worth the expense over a 009, especially if I want to go solid-state. What about the stock dizzy -- what's the part number, and are they any good? It tends to cost more than the 009 but is easy to find, and might be more streetable, before and/or after an electronic conversion..? I'd be interested in someone sounding off on the open issue of whether or not there's an advance curve difference among any distributors running electronic ignition, BTW. > From: "Steven Ayres" <comwest@att.net> > Date: Tue, 30 Jul 2002 11:50:30 -0700 > > Todd=> Any suggestions on where to buy an 010, > => or how much it costs? > > They come up maybe every other week on Ebay, priced depending > on condition > up to around $100. > > => It sounds like a good balance of driveability > => and maintainability, especially if I can convert it > => to solid-state ignition eventually. > > The relative rarity of the 010 carries some issues to > consider.
