Klaus told me any good ignition system can start paper on fire.

Here is a video.

Hi Paul, Can your new ignition system work on a radial?? I've a
warner 7 cyl that needs help.

cheers,

Russ Ward

Yes.

What is the firing order?

You will need 7 Lamar photo interrupter triggers and a small disk fastened
to the crank shaft with holes in it.  One photo interrupter trigger
for each cylinder. Then you will need 14 Lamar ignition system on plug
units. One for each plug. Gets expensive but highly redundant and
reliably.


Or you can build simple distributors  out of plastic tubing
with one Lamar ignition system on plug for each of the two groups of plugs.

These would replace the mags and work like them.  We are building something
like that for the Chev small block  using a stock Chev distributor.

This is the cheap way to go if you can machine parts.
You would be making two 7 cylinder distributor caps out
of large dia. PVC pipe.

It can also be done with a micro computer which would
be cheaper in terms of trigger hardware but requires some
programing. Are you willing  to learn BASIC?

I can give you guidance and help.

Basically the ignition program  is the LED blink program with a few changes.
Don't get over whelmed by the Arm  BASIC manual. You will
be using only about 5% of it. Learn just the instructions you
need to do what you are doing and ignore the rest.

It is very similar to QB and that I can email  you. It  will
run on Windows XP or Windows 7. You can use that to
become familiar with the BASIC language.

You would still need 14  Lamar ignition system on plug units.
About $2800.

What sounds the best to you?
