Uh, huh. Yeah, far be it from YOU, Clare, to say "I toldya so". Hee.

OK, OK, I stand humbly corrected/whipped/humiliated.

Thanks for the Napa/Echlin numbers. I recognize them better than GM
numbers (too many digits for me brain). As an aside, do you know of any
diff. between the TP22 and 25? I'm looking at them both in my Echlin
book, and I'd guess there's some Electrical diff. since they both have
the same packaging reference.

Just to sneak my previous reasoning back into the
discussion/argument/armwrestling, since the module is used on a 4 and an
8, and kicks in some advance above high idle, the AMOUNT of advance
observed and WHEN (rpm) it kicks in is gonna be way diff., unless the
module is clairvoyant or can just "feel" the number of cyls. Heh. That's
why I conjectured/pontificated that they just *couldn't* be used on any
ole #ofCyls. But hey, who am I to argue with the Parts Book, eh? Some
times "science" just fails us. Sigh.
