while it is true that the mag runs from the camshaft, which runs one halfcrankshaft speed, the mag gear has the same number of teeth as thecrankshaft, which makes it crankshaft speed. also, as the crankshaft gearrotates, it drives the camshaft gear in in the opposite direction. thecamshaft gear then drives the mag gear, resulting in the mag rotating inthe same direction as the crankshaft. this will allow the mag to be drivendirectly off the end of the crankshaft. i have already purchased some ofthese $15.00 mags, and plan to use one on the model A engine. these magscan also be taken apart and changed for either left or right rotation, aswell as timing. the impulse coupler can also be changed to which everdirection is used. these are great magnetos at an unbelievable price, andthey will work fine.________________________________________________________________________________
