He also devised a way to run the newer style GM crank sensors
with both the 3x and 18x trigger wheels, allowing even better control
of the spark on a GN, as well as a much faster start up time.
He'll surely be missed... :atbeer:  :prayer:  :atbeer:

He had a killer ECM bench setup. He also was the first that I know of to run coil on plug ignition on a GN.

It's sad that he is gone, but he lived longer than most doctors thought he would.
He will be missed.

He 'contained recycled parts'.

I've heard nothing but good of the man.
