My car is so low (4 in clearance) I would more likely end up with one on my lap!

I am using an original ( 100K ) '89 Denso unit on my 12:1 383 and with a decent tune it will fire up without the engine cranking over ; even on a hot engine bumping up the line in the staging lanes on a hot day.
The mini Lemme has installed should do the same

Well I am happy to say it started without any twisted metallic sound etc. As it just wasn't possible to check the clearance between the gear drive and the flywheel I just closed my eyes and cranked it.

Lets hope it lives up to its $280 Aus pricetag. Who said C4s are a cheap sports car?



PS: My meantime between failure in the last 6 months is about 1 day! What next?
