I'm hoping that everyone is just waiting until the last minute to show their support... ;-) Please remember that its solely your direct Contributions that keep these Lists up and running and most importantly - AD FREE! If the members don't want to support the Lists directly, then I will likely have to start adding advertisements to offset the costs of running the Lists. But I *really* don't want to have to start doing that. I really like the non-commercial atmosphere here and I think that a lot of the members appreciate that too. Won't you please take a moment to make a contribution today in support of the continued ad-free operation of all these Lists? http://www.matronics.com/contribution I want to send out a word of appreciation to all of the members that have already made their generous contribution to support the Lists! Thank you!

I just joined this list after browsing the very useful archives. I noticed that several people had failures with the Subaru Nippodenso ignition control module. Was the module used with the Subaru Nippodenso K31 coil (the stock coil)? Or with something else? My aircraft flew about 80 hours this year and during all that time, we were dissatisfied with engine performance. I tried replacing cyl. heads, tuning carb, reajusting lifters, tuning exhaust, I even dismantled the engine and had it checked at the machine shop. Today, I decided to try the stock Subaru ignition system in lieu of the ND pickup/TP45/IC107 combination. With the GM HEI system, I obtained 4300 rpm static on the ground (plane attached). Well, with the Subaru ignition, I got 5050 rpm (you read right 700+ additional static rpms)!!! This is not the same engine at all!! I did not check timing or temperatures or anything as I was too excited to think. It just seems that my performance problem may be a thing of the past.
