It works great, engine starts as soon as the key is turned. I did have to make the hole for the gap adjustment larger because I could not get the gap closed enough but that was pretty easy with a smal round file. What really puzzled me was that after the install, the starter began turning when the key was just turned to the first click. It ended up that someone, not me, had wired the starter wrong and when I took the resistor off, since it was no longer needed, there was enough power to get the starter turning. I do have a 742 with the Ford 1.6 in it but I have not gotten around to switching that ignition yet. I will eventually however since the tune up parts for the distributer are sooooooo expensive.</p></blockquote><p></p>
