Kent engine ignition options

[NicBowman]

Hi

Vixen S2. Cross flow engine at 0.090” overbore, full race head, twin Weber DCOEs, Kent 234 cam.

Ignition choices? I have Powerspark or similar on my 3000S seems to work well and very good prices. Do I dump the vacuum advance (as recommended by the above company), ballast resister needed? Coil? Best advance curve?

I don’t want a mad modern setup at great expense, ideally just a dizzy, old school.

Thanks

Hi.

Thanks Moto.

The Powerspark is £70. The Aldon is £300! Not that I am trying to do it cheap. But seems insane. How do Powerspark get prices that low? I am tempted to try just as they are such a crazy bargain.

Hi

I did buy a Powerspark dizzy, being about as much as a Big Mac I couldn’t resist.

Thoughts, it looks cheap. Cap not compatible with older versions, quite cost reduced. In saying that it is a simple design mechanically, just a rotating shaft. I will see how it goes.

But, I would probably recommend you keep your old distributor and buy a retrofit system to fit in it.
