     Triggering the ignition off the front of the
     e-shaft as done on the 3rd gen and RX8 (or better yet, the flywheel)
     is much more accurate than using the second gen 13B and three rotor
     20B crank angle sensors

Paul,  I really am supprised at this as the "crank trigger" units 
are usually the same type of pickup. Could be because of gear
bounce and lash I suppose. I totally agree that e-shaft trigger 
is the way to go. The larger diameter of the flywheel makes
accurate timing even easier. Bill Jepson
