Hi Steve, Thanks heaps for the info - just what I wanted to know. The bbird electronic ign doesn't use a ballast resistor, so that's why I wanted to know if running this was going to fry something in the L-Jet computer, which was run originally with a ballast resistor/lower voltage points ign. Your info regarding R30 and 280ZX suggests that this isnt a problem.
