You need a CDI, most cars make 500rwkw with a single coil. Either Crane hi-6 or MSD(the old school) red box things are the common units used, i prefer the crane being digital. cheers darren

single coil still Capacitor Discharge Ignition These are the best: http://www.mwignitions.com/ they are about $700 for a single coil setup The crane is about $350-400 http://www.horsepowerinabox.com/HPIAB2/category34_1.htm You will be able to bring the plug gap right back aswell I would redyno it to see how it is performing..and wind the wick up cheers darren Some original photos have not been recovered yet.
