    This is a picture of my DuraSpark ignition system, it sure is purdy!

    The ignition coil which is not in the picture, is just an aftermarket high output unit. And yes, those are the jet sizes posted on my 650 Speed Demon. By design, it runs a little on the rich side.

    My 428 has one hidden in plain sight, driven By Crane Hi-6(their version of 6AL).

    Comet has a factory E coil.

    If you pull the cHEIna distributor, I would recommend the factory DuraSpark, or possibly Pertronix. It is the only thing that looks like it should be there.

    I am going to see if this distributor even works, if it does we will see how long it runs for, I really wanted to look into going back to the duraspark system and probably still will I can’t imagine this distributor is any good
