Here is the picture of the crank trigger for rotaries. The degree wheel on
the front of this makes timing a real treat. The wheel can be oriented so that
the stock pointer is pointing at 26 degrees (or whatever you want the timing to
be) when the reluctor is in front of the pickup for number one housing. This
pickup would be on the plug side of the engine. The pickup for the number two
housing will be mounted on the exhaust side.
Both leading and trailing plugs will fire at the same time. No distribution
of the trailing plugs is required.
No split between leading and trailing is required.
You can use two coils per housing as drawn, or use a double ended coil from
a motor cycle. If using MSDs,
use one of their coils.
Timing accuracy is astounding. A timing light looks like a flash light
shining on a stopped engine.
Chrysler amplifiers are about $20.00 each. Two required. Chrysler (Dodge
Plymouth and others) pickups (from the distributor) are about $5.00 each. Two
required Easy hookup. Short wires, Mount the coils beside the plugs.
Amplifiers (or MSDs) can be mounted remotely. Wiring diagrams in a Motors Manual
at the library.
