Right now looking at what it would take to make a manifold out of S glass. Going to peripheral port the housing, and with a plugs up mounting, would be fairly simple matter of laying up some sock type fiberglass on a quartered section of u bend tubing, bonding the flanges over either aluminum or phenolic with traditional mat.
The leaning block is sold off of Paul Lamar's sight.
S glass has great heat insulation properties and is structurally very strong. The raw materials are not expensive, so i can have a lightweight non heat transferring intake cheaper than I can buy anything on the aftermarket.

Ah, yes; the Mcneily (sp?) leaning
block. Sounds like a good plan.
What does your manifold look like?
Another option for ignition that has been discussed, is the Ford
EDIS setup, which, IIRC, can use Lynn's dual crank trigger setup.
Should be a lot less expensive than MSD.
There's also MegaJolt, if you want MP controlled advance.

Great deal on those magnetos though.

Might be interested. Was looking at ignition
modules and the Pertronix looks like the only one which
actually carries multiple sparks past 3000RPM. Also has
crank angle offset setting which allows you to adjust
when the following sparks fire, would be good for a
rotary due to the longer burn time. Only allows to be
set up in 4,6, or 8 cylinder mode though so not sure how
tach output will read.
They don't offer siamesed coils though, so at
minimum i would be interested in those, and curious
about other ignition parts available.

Chad,
If
you haven’t purchased the MSD coils I may have
some available. Mark Steitle did some
experimenting with a similar setup and has a
box of MSD parts in his hanger. Not sure
exactly what’s in the box but parts were used
for a few ground runs. Next trip to the hanger
I’ll do an inventory and take a picture.

the ignition system
Interesting,
Do you have pictures of this system?
I haven't heard of firing both plugs per
housing at the same time (most fire the
trailing plugs independently and the leading
plugs simultaneously with a waste spark
cycle). This sounds pretty good, considering
only needing 2 modules instead of 3.

Two

be tripped by the reluctor.
One
pickup fires an MSD or similar so as
to light off a double ended coil (MSD
has these) or two Blaster coils in
parallel if you need the extra weight.
To fire leading and trailing plugs in

The
second pickup fires housing two. Keep
plug wires as short as is possible.
Adjust
reluctor disc so as to fire plugs at
20 to 26 degrees BTDC. Good from idle
to 10,000 RPM and 250 HP. Used on
racing engines for years. Use NGK 11.5
heat range plugs gapped at .010".
Non

so accurate that the engine appears to
be not running when a timing light is

I'm
wanting to use a carbureted
Renesis for my build.
Eliminating both the fuel
injection system and the
emissions system, I have no need
to keep the stock ECM. What
would be the easiest ignition
system to use? I'm thinking a
hall effect crank angle sensor
feeding an MSD 6A/Crane Fireball
Hi6/similar low cost unit and
three coils: one for each
trailing plug and one for both
leading plugs (leading plugs
fire a waste spark similar to
the 2nd and 3rd generation
RX7s).
Would
this be a matter of simply
installing a universal
aftermarket crank trigger kit
and having the sensors trigger
an ignition module? Would I need
one or three ignition modules to
achieve this?
