Like quite a few things, it seems to be a dying art. I used to go to a bloke in Kogarah. Last time I wanted one done, I found out he's retired and none of the remaining guys new how to use the machine. Just stuck the dissy in anyway and hoped for the best.

It's not such a black art. Google "Lars Grimsrud ignition papers" and it will tell you what you need to do.

thanks guys, i might get it started first, then when i find someone to do it, i'll rip it out and send it in. anyone has any idea what this would roughly put out in terms of horsepower?
