Jeff,

	I was thinking that this centrifugal cam gear might be the hot 
ticket, but, you're right, it would screw up the distributor timing.  I 
guess it's time to install a crank triggered ignition with separate coils 
on each plug (ala 20V cars).  Maybe I'll do this when I do the EFI 
conversion.
