Re: Dual distributors
Aesthetics play a big roll in a system like this. You can't compare it to an aircraft engine. In theory, the secondary distributor should fire a few degrees after the primary to reduce the length of the flame front. In this case all we wanted to do was make an inexpensive way of doing it. I made a vertical distributor timing cover about 20 years ago, and knew this would work, we just had to figgerit out. once the angles had been figger out he just welled up to cast iron covers. If I can figger out how to post any more pics I'll post the construction and gearing . As for how it runs. So far the car isn't reaady for the road, but is driveable, and BVubba is right, the engine runs the same weather on one or both dists. Again It looks great and didn't cost much. And Ron one of those distributors is yours.
