[TECH] 3a/JH HYbrid need help...please!

[drew at scirocco.cs.uoguelph.ca (Drew MacPherson)]

FWIW I have YET to see a documented knock-sensor ignition conversion that
fails to include the knock-sensing distributor - it's a pretty integral
part of the knock sensor ignition, as I believe has already been 
demonstrated.  I think the choices for people swapping high compression 
engines are a) either run factory low compression ignition and use high 
octane gas, OR use a knock sensing ignition from the donor engine, which 
includes the distributor.

Patrick, how much of a deal is it to get an RD/HT knock sensor distributor 
and swap the gear so you can use it in your block?
