Corvair Duel Ignition 1

Corvair Dual Electronic Ignition

Page 1
This is my setup for a duel electronic ignition for my 3100cc corvair engine. It uses two Crane Cams XR700 ignition modules. Two Bosch Blue Coils and a MSD Coil switcher. I am also using Moroso SuperMax 11mm spark plug wires.
Keep an eye on JC Whitney they have the XR700 on sale for $80. It is normally $100
Here is the weight penalty for using a second electronic ignition, 1 pound and .9 oz. This is above that called for in the manual. Two coils, coil switcher, points.
To do this you need a duel point plate. If you want a PDF copy of my CAD drawing just E-mail me and ask for it. You can make it out of stainless or aluminum. Once the timing is set the screws can be locktite'd. Because they will not need periodic adjustment like points do.
I am in the process of redrawing the point plate to eliminate the sub plate and make the install a bolt on affair.
