The problem seems to the lack of a second bushing in the e-Fire and the subsequent lack of support. Here is the most germane post by a Barn member who actually worked with one :https://www.fordbarn.com/forum/showthread.php?t=261218&highlight=stromberg. He makes the point that a stock rebuilt crab (with two bushings) is a better choice. (You can add an electronic conversion module if you wish.)
I personally know Murre and he is one sharp individual with a lot of experience.

We exchanged emails a month or so ago. He is extremely busy with his other businesses. He is an amazing guy; he does machine work for the engines in marine ocean-going vessels for one thing. I think he did "car stuff" when he had some slack time, but it sounds like that's in the past.
I have a E-Fire distributor and i am not so happy about it unfortunately, It stopped working almost immediately, i sent it back to Stromberg ( very good support) they could not find any problem but replaced some things in it any way. I dont use the car so often so this summer maybe i have driven 500km, and now here we go again....started the car and was going to the garage for winter sleep, the car was running as it should, snapped on the headlight and the car died and no spark from the distributor at all, tried every trick i know but it is dead. So back with the original distributor and the car works properly, so it will probably stay. Today will be mailing Stromberg tech and ask what the **** is wrong with this distributor? I am a little bit irritated right now because it was not cheap to buy...

like most electronic dizzys they are sensitive to voltage and any sudden change can have dire results some more so than others other problems can also cause voltage to flucuate and at six volts there isnt a lot of room to play with. Not a great problem with a good electrical system but can require a little reworking to guarantee a constant voltage supply mallory msd actually supply a control box that does this
