A friend in Florida rigged up his own non-magneto ignition robbed from a
late-model motorcycle and installed it on his O-200-powered Murphy Renegade.
If I recall correctly he has it set up to advance itself as much as 35
degrees. Any more anecdotes about nonstandard ignition boxes?

Friend of mine (a very CHEAP friend of mine) did the same thing with the
O-290 on his T-18, except he based his on a late '80s GM electronic
ignition. Eventually got it working fine, but he fought an EMI problem for
quite a while. Ran fine on the ground, but it would start misfiring just
after clearing the fence on takeoff....
