You know it is most likely true about Western Mi.

Lord knows the cheese heads complain about the Flatlanders invading the north.

There was a bumper sitcker that said "Escape to Wisconsin" that many IL folks put on their mini-vans back in the day.

Soon the Cheese Heads had one that said " Escapee go Home".

Funny how they love the vacation $$ that they get from the Chicago vacationers.

Reminds me how in SW Florida they sing the song about enjoying the Yankee $$$
It was done to a song they called the chicken or turkey dance. Funny Stuff 4 sure.

I have not seen the show on Michigan on our WTTW Ch 11 PBS -- Never know it may have been aired and I just missed it.

I do go to the WTTW website and watch many of the free videos they offer on line

Ron,

Welcome to the ZR-1 net. As a former GM'er and a GMI grad, good to have another colleague from Generous Mothers. Your experience with the DIS system would be invaluable in possibly helping our efforts towards adapting the LSx ignition coils for use on the LT-5. About 18 months ago, myself, =Jeff=, and another collaborator attempted to use LSx coils, 1st and 2nd Gen truck coils, with the DIS system. I succeeded in getting the motor to start and run for about 45sec. to a minute before it shuddered to a stop. I had to make some mods to the circuitry but was never able to get the motor past initial startup. While it did run, it idled smoothly. I'd be happy to familiarize you with our efforts and get your insight on what we may have done wrong, or if our approach just plain won't work. Secondly, is there a way it would work? And, in your opinion, is it worth the effort. I'd look forward to sharing some of our thoughts on what's we suspect is happening and get your perspective on that.

Cheers,

Dominic
