Well, if I can recommend anything from this trip, the Petronix electronic ignition worked flawlessly. I ran a Powermaster, one wire, 150 amp alternator to make sure I had juice for the laptop, inverter and other electronics, and the T-5 swap is the way to go for high speed cruising. The Pinto actually handles very well, and is pretty stable at high speed. You can ask the guy in the AMG Mercedes that I chased down the western side of the Sierras!! He probably couldn't believe that he was seeing a Pinto in his rear view thru the curves!
