Don't forget to check the mags for the Slick SB if you haven't yet.
Tim has an excellent mag timing writeup on his site.

Like Bob, I did buy a build-it-yourself kit long ago.
It does work fine. But, that being said, the link Kelly
sent you is probably what I'd do if I were buying today.
With tweeter.

I don't remember what I paid, but I would just make it simple
and buy one.

Spruce sells a couple of different kits and has a big "a la carte"

Sure. Pull #1 plug, lay it on top of cylinder with ignition lead attached. Disconnect
the starter wire. Carefully, slowly rotate prop until near #1 TDC. Turn
on power, hold key on start (or jumper). Slowly rotate prop to TDC. You should
see multiple sparks as the retard points open. If Slickstart isn't working,
no spark. Use usual precautions around prop.
