Folks, A quick note here to inform everyone that I will no longer be doing retrofits. Demand has been extremely low (haven't done one in two...
I don't own a Dino, but I thought of this a few years ago as a way of compensating for the fuel starvation in the bends. Basically if means...
For some reason I assumed these cars would get much better fuel mileage. Not so great for such a slippery looking shape. Fred W.
Congratulations Freeman. I'm nuts about the first Audi TT although I will never likely own one and have never driven one. I know this is a Dino...
Carby, Your guess is as good as mine. I simply do not know. I have seen a haze around the main spark with powerful inductive ignitions firing...
Carby, Thanks for all of that! Makes one wonder why most manufacturers did not and still do not use CDI. Perhaps there are some I don't know about...
10 million ohms or less shunt resistance (IE, in parallel with the spark gap) usually from carbon deposits on the business end of the spark plug....
The one I have in black is and the somewhat later red one that I have from Allison is as well. Quite possible they made some variations on the red...
With respect to failures, They usually boil down to poor component choices or poor design or a combination of both. The old Bosch 3 pin CDIs use a...
Cool, An original black speedatron. I have a broken one I've been meaning to fix up one day. They were made by General Nucleonics in Pomona...
No, It really is the epoxy adhering to the rough casting that is making it hard to get out. Once you have the connector out safely you might need...
Not meaning to bump Edward's question on how best to re-finish a 101 case, but yes I still do retrofits in a small way. I have one here waiting...
Perhaps move the magnet ring and see if the problem moves to another cylinder. Fred
I'm pleasantly surprised that the article mentioned the dinoplex ignition, although they did spell fouling as 'fowling'. That magazine is the only...
My mother who was born a Curtis would invariably comment that Tony wasn't a "real" Curtis. She should have been flattered. Fred
Freeman, Great interview. As another air force brat that lived in Germany ( Ramstein Air base and the village of Siegelbach) from 1970-74, I...
Should be easy enough to trigger it from the Pertronix 2. Do not connect any pertronix wires to the coil. Instead, connect the red pertronix wire...
I wondered why I had very few mice this year, or worse, rats like I had last year. Today I saw a mink wander into my woodshed. It appears that it...
Skipp, the retrofit is designed to be plug and play for your original box, so you can use the original type coil. If it ever fails, you can...
Tony, Siicone is the jacket, but wha type of conductor is inside? With an inductive ignition two things affect the spark duration. Energy is the...
