Jay,
You're probably right about noticing changes in normal ops. Certainly so for the normal ops single fuel pump. The resounding quiet of engine stoppage is tough to miss Wink. But losing one E-ignition is a barely noticeable event even during run-up and, as you say, one would not feel/see/hear any change if one of a dual power source for an EFI dropped out. I like it that I can test the system, and reset the alarm feature with the single (MOM) switch. And if the alarm feature fails, I still have LED's firing up for blown fuses.

When I first assembled an electronics kit, I thought I was in terribly complex territory. But after I saw how small the finished kit was and demonstrated its capability to provide a solution, I became hooked! I frankly don't know what SCR's and some of the other parts are in this circuit but they're inexpensive and I would guess pretty reliable. The guy who designed this circuit is in the home/business security biz. He outlined some possible problems in high electrical noise environments but, with caveats, didn't think they would crop up in my application.

Here's the thread if you or anybody is interested:
