Default W&h dual ignition

I have a dual ignition distributor from W&H for my 32 Ford driver.

Does anyone know anything about these or know of someone that could set one of these up so I can bolt it on and use it ?

Try Bob Wyman at System One Pro Ignition. His dad was the "W" of W&H.

Thank you for the info on Wyman. I talked to one of Bob's employees this morning. They told me Bob was at one of the other buildings and he said they are so busy, "swamped" that they used to work on his dad's distributors, but are too busy to help. I asked him to give Bob a message to see if he knows of someone that could help. I will wait for Bob to reply.
If anyone else knows of someone that could set one of these up I would be thankful.

You might try Jerry Jobe in Somers, Montana. Several years ago he rebuilt my Lincoln V-12 W&H distributor that had been converted for a Ford V-8

Very rare, hard to find the cap and rotor. Your going to need two coils. I would guess many of the early Ford distributor rebuilders could get it set up properly. Make sure it is set up on a machine, and not a static setting. It would help if you have the proper setting numbers.
