Additional FeaturesI'm using Katz battery heaters, and they are working well. The rear battery box is right behind the seats and does a good job of keeping the insides comfortably warm during the winter (avg 43 degrees,and wet)

Jim added a variable timing and adapted the back shaft for the timing sensor.
