Status: offline 		Great,,,,,,,Keep use informed.I also believe that the add-on syncro spark by CH will work with this unit.It connects between the pick-up and the hall sensor,Set the timing to around TDC then the SP will automatically advance it during running.

Status: offline 		I just spoke with Marlowe on the phone to tell him he had the wrong phone number on his web site.I got the correct number from switchboard.com.He told me that he did'nt have any units ready for sale because he was having problems with his supplier for the printed boards.He's going to call them tomarrow and see if he can get the ball rolling.I will post what I find out from Marlowe.So to answer my own question,This is legit.

Status: offline 		Bill and TKG have tested all the competition systems and have run more engines than all the rest of us put together...They KNOW what works and what it takes to manufacture ignitions and make a fair profit....When my ignitions mysteriously started failing I went with C&H, same lifetime guarantee as mine...Try that on your brand X systems....
And $40 Chinese ignitions...
You get what you pay for................

Status: offline 		Have fun with the S/S unit. The comment trying to be made was that, from Marlowe for $70 you get a tested cdi board with a timing control built in NOT a complete ignition. To the $70 you have to add a coil, plug lead, plug cap, and a box. The savings if any is in your labor vs my labor, the parts are about the same.

Status: offline 		I would have went with a Marlowe unit but,unfortunatly he is having supplier problems.As for the jerry howel kit.Iv heard that there is a strong strain on a battery with those units.Having any dwell over 35 degrees seems to not work so good.I decided to go with S&S because of talk at local hobby shop says that they are well built and obviously look nice too.
