KR> Electronic Ignition

Reading the HAPI ignition posts, it seems to me why can't there be a dual system using the dyna-tek coil-on-plugs, two hall effect pickups, and two modules for control and advance? Seems that would be the best system for weight, compactness, and redundancy. Is there anything like that? And is th

Hi Owen Instead of the compufire I used the Computronix dis4-009. The distributor is only slightly taller than the fixed ignition secondary distributor. It uses centrifugal advance, but does adjust dwell depending on rpm. . http://www.compu-tronix.com/DIS4009.htm // ___
