For Steve and Kurt and whoever else has MSD experience...
Questions about the MSD:
1) are these the same MSD that the hot rodders use?
2) how do they pick up the triggering info (timing)?
3) does each MSD have its own pickup?
4) how do they know about the advance curve for a Lycoming?
5) what coils do they use?
6) if 1) is yes, how do you handle the transition from the 'automotive' 
world ignition wire ends to the aircraft sparkplug ends?
