Congratulations on your new arrival, always nice to see a growing Glastron family. There usually are plenty of 18's at the meet to keep it company as well, live to see it there next year. The thunderbolt ignition is generally quite reliable, but coil failures do occur. Just be certain to match the coil to the ignition box. Sometimes we get wrapped up in the snake oil about high energy coils, and end up selecting one with too low an input impedance, which can damage the ignition box. Just ask how I know this, uuggghhhh.
