I've used rosin core solder on industrial engines before to find what the firing order was, some of them can have the flywheel put on in different positions and have timing marks all over the place. I worked for an industrial ignition, hydraulic, and mechanical governor co. and have seen just about everything that can be done wrong. I wish there was a distributor with the point contacts sealed in a glass tube ( one for each cyl.) and closed by a magnet on the rotor like the Altronic ignition system uses. It had a small alternator built in the housing and I never had a problem with them and I converted many a industrial engines over to it, up to 10 cyl. That should get some of you younger guy's thinking about how to do it, I'd by one for my Flat Head 41. Al
