It's at least twice as tall as the stock distributor, closer to 10", and
twice the diameter, unless there are others than the one I remember
being the rage in the early VW racing days.

I'll leave the Roy Marsh questions to Bruce, but it's a different
airfoil than the plans call for and is also thinner in terms of percent
chord. It also had a higher stall speed and landing speed than a stock
KR. People are often impressed with the roughly 192 average mph speed
that he scored in a race, but consider that his engine was turbocharged,
and it may have been a one-way race like Airventure Cup, where a
tailwind can make your speed look really good...
