So the trailing will wind up firing before the leading when it retards the ignition.

Clutch!! I am keeping my TII tranny in the car.
I know I will need a stronger clutch. Can I use a FC clutch with a FD flywheel??
BTW - Every custom piece I make will be blueprinted and made in three's. I will be marketing a FD conversion when I am done with this.
