I don't see any guys talking about running the old Berg ignition on their motors? Bates, you ran one didn't you? I don't remember you ever being left stranded because of it.

I remember Gary's '67 had one, but all I did was plug it back in, when I put motor back in car (1994). What was the advance curve on those? Could you lock them out?

The Clyde Berg Car had one on it (Stinger S4) when I owned it...Used to work perfectly!!!

I bought an Stinger S1 couple Time ago, to try it on a friends Car but it never happened as he left us way to early...

Yeah, I had the Stinger S4 from Eric Ballard's (ERCO) SS/CX sedan. I loved it. When I lost it, I almost became violent towards my ex wife. I have a drinking problem instead.  Grin Much cheaper than sitting in jail.

They are outdated. Today you can better for less. They most likely were good in their day.
