Craig,
Very nice, really like the 911 dash and ampel ( sp) console. Would explain ( to a non-mechanic) how the ignition is set up. I see the two MSD and a six wire distributer....curious minds want to learn.
I'm not Craig,, but I can answer your question (because I stayed at a Holiday Inn).
Craig's car is a 2 rotor 13B. Each rotor gets 2 spark plugs, a leading and a trailing. These 2 plugs fire staggered by 10 degrees. A single coil can't charge fast enough to provide another spark so quickly, so 2 coils are also used. The ignition cap and rotor just split the leading and trailing sparks between the 2 rotors, just like our T4 engine splits the spark output of 1 coil between 4 cylinders.
He's using the 2 MSD boxes to "stimulate" each ignition coil, thus 2 MSD boxes.
sorry, long time since I checked my post.....you are correct. and the rotary engine uses a 4-cyl tachometer which make my 911 tach perfect for the job
I hope this makes some sense Jim.

Thanks Robert. That pretty cool. I gotta ride in your Rotary at the next funcion.
