Car looks great, best model spider

That distributorless unit is interesting. A couple of questions from a user
1.Can you control the advance over the whole rev range?
2.The location of plug makes it susceptible to water ingress

I like the tap you've got on the heater hose off the head. I assume this is to properly fill the coolant system. Can you supply more information on this? Close-up pics.

I can fill in details;
the trigger unit is sealed; water and dust proof. It uses a mechanical advance, which can be modified but the curve is set up very well right out of the box.
The fitting in the heater hose is a flush tee and makes bleeding the cooling system very easy.

Thanks for the info So Cal Mark.
Although the trigger unit is sealed. The plug and pins in the photo are exposed to the elements. Given the orientation this is subject to moisture and the possibility of the terminal becoming corroded or dirt that may bridge the terminals causing a short. I'm not sure of the likelihood of this happening, but consequences may be documented in the troubleshooting guide (if not already). Does the manufacturer of the terminal block have an optional rubber boot to mitigate this?

I only say this because the location of the block mounted distributor is low in the engine bay and exposed to the elements flying through the radiator or up under the beaver panel, also from whatever (leaky) system is around it such as the crank case vent.

On another note. I love the headers you manufacture. Do you know if they fit right hand drive cars?
