Airhead 247 Podcast: Bud Provin -Ignitions & Design Changes (78-84) Pt. 1

On the program part one of a two part conversation with Bud Provin from Nickwackett Garage in Vermont. Bud was one of the first guests on the program when we launched a few years back, so if you are wanting to learn more about Bud and his personal history, dig into the show archives.

Today though, weโ€™ll be asking Bud to go in the way-back machine and recall his days as a certified tech at both Bobโ€™s BMW and his own shop to reminisce about design changes on 247 models from 1978-1984. Additionally and just as informative, weโ€™ll start out the show with a discussion on ignition systemsโ€”starting with traditional points and going thru evolution of electronic systems.
