none, relies on distributor for advance. Be sure and put di-eletric grease in all the connectors, see my post above

Well, add me to the list, got to the ramp yesterday, and the Talon wouldn't start, no spark at the spark plug, and nothing coming our to of the coil when I'm cranking the ignition. I think it's the coil....

The daytona system is very nice. It is the old crane system with some additional features. Blows MSD out of the water.

WFO1,
If I just need to replace my coil, can I buy the Daytona coil to run with my MSD dist. ready to run system?
Thanks,
Dean

You will. Only a matter of when and how far from the dock you are.
