Yup, I remember the Rev-pol, although I never ran it. I also remember the 
first electronic ignitions with amp boxes 16" square and power diodes the 
size of quarters that wouldn't live 2 weeks. "Boots" Mallory and I had many 
long conversations on the then-industry standard of using the customer as the 
Q.C. Dept. A 100% guarantee is not what I want at 11PM in the rain on Sunday 
night, 50 miles from home.... Maybe thats why I still use carburetors and 
ignition points/coils instead of EFI and Nuclear-blast ignition systems that 
can fire plugs under tar. Cheers- J deRyke
