   Perry I think you should try an MSD ignition. Cap discharge
   is supposed to punch through lead deposits. Or build you own.

   I think I have one of these I can loan you for test.

   Perry, here is the one I have. Send me your address and
   I will loan it to you. Keep a set of plugs that have
   been fouled by 100LL and reinstall them for test on
   the ground.

   I'm on a web-based access, hopefully this isn't an html message.

   I haven't burned 100LL for a year, not since my last trip to KS when
   I found out TCP doesn't work. I think it doesn't work because the
   cylinder head temperature is lower in a water cooled engine. So I
   don't have any fouled plugs laying around anymore. I would have to
   install the system and then burn 100LL.

   I downloaded some manuals from MSD awhile back but it wasn't really
   clear how that system installed into an RX-7. Do you think this
   system is easily installed and removed?

   Send by USPS to PO Box 1553, McMinnville, OR 97128. If you want to
   send by other means let me know.

Ok Perry. There is plenty of data about it on the Internet.
