So here I am with a fully disassembled motor, ready for a bottom end rebuild in the ensuing weeks.
I have, in my possession, a 4 coil electromotive ignition setup that was given to me. I have all the parts I need (including the timing wheel) save the mount itself for the pickup. Should I go ahead and install it? And leave the dizzy on the bench? It's a tough call, but I thought I'd get some opinions from y'all... What to do? -Josh2 |

As mentioned above, just carry a spare sensor, that's all that ever seems to go wrong with them. The crank-fired ignition is a nice upgrade, though it would cause problems if you were using the original fuel injection (due to the second set of points). I've had one for many years, and only had one sensor go bad. Replaced on the side of the road and got back on track quite easily. |
