Pietenpol-List: Re:Dual points for the Corvair engine

Regarding the dual point system Willaim Wynn has to offer. There are twosets of points mounted within the distributor. With this arrangement eachset of points require a coil and condensor. Only one set of points will beused at any given time. An electronic switch is required to select which setof points will be in use at a time. The redundancy is in having that extraset of points if the other fails, and that rarely happens. This is thearrangement I will be using with my Corvair engine.Hope this helps.Alex Sloan----- Original Message -----
