[urq] Coil-On-Plug in '84 ur-q Tachometer Feed?

[Michael Hopton]

Martin,

Bring your sledge hammer tonight and we can alter 
the floorpan for the 6 gang!

At this point I will be very happy when the engine
fires up.....

cheers, Mike

Patrick,

I think Mike's plate if full enough to worry about a 6-speed, this one
has been off the road way too long now.

Mike,

Concentrate.. 6-speed bad, running car.. good!! :)

Cheers
Martin
