Good question. How does that work Paul?

The magneto is a 6 cylinder Bendix - a four pole mag geared 2/3 inside

for

six cylinders.
My gilmer drive is 2/3 to get the right rpm, and I run two leads to each
plug.
I have charts etc on how I worked it out if you want.

I have installed lots more dowells in the engine, but Ibarra and

Signorelli

and other hard
hitting rotor drag cars still have the twisting problem - I believe it
cracks the rear housing.

I thought about that possibility after I posed the question - makes a lot of
sense
but as others have said - an elctronic system would be easier, and more
precise. Actually I have an old Slick 4 cylinder mag that I have been
thinking about putting on my '31 Model A engine just because it
would look neat. - Vance
