I cain't speak for Bruce or Dave, but I asked about the same thang. Them
"smart coils" are quite nice, I have several and have played with them
before, and I had asked for a refresher on what you (Orin) had
discovered in your testing, b'cuz I didn't remember seeing anything
posted before. Just 'member my Oldstimer's Disease, dood; memory is the
second thing to go, and I'm too scared to think of what the first might
be.

I've had the wiring diagram from previous; I was lookin for
operational/behavioral stuff having to do with the timeout mentioned in
your previous post.

So not to worry, if THIS is the report you posted before, that's VERY
valuable info all by it's lonesome, and I'm happy for it. I just
wondered if there was MORE, being greedy an all. :)  I take it they're
not smart enough to figure DWELL/saturation time from the previous
series of firings, like an HEI module, so I was trying to ascertain just
how much dwell compensation WOULD be required to operate them.
