The CAS has some moving parts, the failure of any might shut down the
engine.  In the interest of safety and reliability should it be
removed and replaced by a "wheel" bolted to the eccentric shaft
pulley with a built in reluctor?   No moving parts would be the
advantage.   Two reluctors at 180º could signal two separate dual
lead coils to make a redundant electrical system for the single
rotor.   Is this a good idea?    Jerry (not quite as dumb as yesterday)

A number of years ago, in quest of maximizing power of an O-200
for a customer, found that an area that needed work was induction
and exhaust.
Without going into extensive details, also incorporated full electronic
ignition from MSD. All parts needed are available for crank trigger,
but require some common sense reworking to fit.
Gapped the plugs at .065, instead of .017, and perhaps could have
gone more. I know it is not zoom, zoom, zoom, but thought it
might help.
