Hi! Guys 

I was just snooping around my neighbors vehicle cemetery (a collection of about 150 vehicles from the early 1900's on) I found an old Mazda wagon (model 124 engine 12a) The engine has 2 distributors, does any one know whether the front cover from  a 12a will bolt up to a 13b ? I would like to have redundant igniters if I could.

I'm no reotary expert (see! I can't even spell it!) but I have seen some

pretty bizarre damage on piston engines caused by

detonation/preingnition.  Like piston rings broken and I can easily

equate this to an apex seal. I haven't seen this discussed much on this

thread, there might be no "witness marks" left behind. One clue might be

plug color. It could be something like an intake leak, mixture problem,

incorrect heat range plug, timing issue, even a long gone piece of hot

carbon.

FWIW, Tim Andres
