Mark,

I started a whole new thread on this subject. I'd like to mention that
this thread was started on the idea that a bashed 81 was available to
graft into a 'new' 78. If the car was going to gain the 'pointless'
ignition :) then it seems the rest of the engine management would be a
good choice to add over as well.

I'm thinking performance vs efficiency is a trade off and a working o2
system would help.

let's transfer this over to the "O2 and it's Pros & Cons" thread, eh?
