Re: Flathead V8 Twin Distributor timing cover i am making
To get the benefit from dual plugs, the combustion chamber must be designed for it.. The only heads that come close are the Elco heads. However, the piston would have to be recessed under the plug to tak advantage of a power tip plug. In affect this would benefit fuel economy more than hP.

Re: Flathead V8 Twin Distributor timing cover i am making
we have home made twin plug heads on our dragster,one plug directly over the centre of the piston.
I dont know what difference the twin plugs make but we are happy with how the engine performs,I always want to try a run with the centre set disconected but we seem always have other stuff going on between runs ( coffee etc.) Lawrie |

Re: Flathead V8 Twin Distributor timing cover i am making
TJW, you do some fantastic work. very nice. very creative. i would love to put one of those dual distributor setups on a car with single plug heads and convert the distributors to 4 lobe cams and just have the "WOW" factor when the hood is open and only 4 plug wires on each distributor......

Hello on the dual plug heads and dual dist. drive! I realize this post is 2016, but might these items still be available? Thanks, Mike 503-622-3639, no text. Orygun!
