Yes, have it on my '68 turbo Dart. Installed it just before Bristol race 9/2/11, ran it down there and on the track, but blew head gasket and just finished getting it running again today. 6AL-2 worked very well for that time, and I anticipate no problems. Head gasket was unrelated (long term heat wear due to 2-3 spots of fire ring hanging into the comb chambers).

Do you think you could give me some more details? How much boost? Intercooler? What does your timing curve look like? Any pointers about using the 6AL2? Also, what did you gap your plugs @?

I'm very curious about this too - my plan is to use a programmable 6al as well.
Are we talking about the same thing - http://www.msdignition.com/Products/Ignitions/6530_-_MSD_Digital_Programmable_6AL-2.aspx 
Dart260, when using this were you carbbed with a boost referenced FPR as well?

Sweet build. Was this all with the 6AL-2 or before?

Thanks for the kind words.
6AL-2 only added after 6k miles and about 50 drag passes.
