Oh, yea!

Now, i'm talking about 1964 here. The DELTA CD was rudimentary, but it put out a 1 inch spark with lots of energy with a hot hot coil with a higher windings ratio.

i'm having trouble recalling if i bot the Delta Electronics CD amp/driver mail order, which i think is true, or from either Radio Shack or Allied Electronics, since they both sold lots of kits to me. i went through my fair share (and then some) of HeathKits ("We won't let you fail") and Elco Electronics of many sorts at the time leading up to 1964. So, the DELTA CD system was child's play by that time (my mid twenties-something).

i even seem to remember an early Tektronics scope kit, which was very difficult to build and use, for looking at the "square" wave ignition switching of the dual point ford distributor on my first FE (and other transient electronic switch systems), which was also lousy (the dual point ignition, that is).

But, the MSD is like a gift from the power gods and the custom distributor works perfectly.

The only serious improvement would be to use a crank trigger, but i don't like the wet-weather lesser-reliability of CT's. We raced in the rain and i also used the car for ski trips to Jay Peak, Killington and Sugarloaf. CT's were not street friendly, particularly in NE salty roads at that time.

Certainly the current owner has no idea how much salt reacted the electrolysis between the aly skin and the dirt-road rusty chassis in those days.

Little did i know that the car would be so valuable 40+ years latter.

i would have painted it with more black Glyptal undersides.
