After working with Dick Patrson and others, we finally came up with a
simple but very powerful ignition system.
We use a MSD Capacitive Discharge unit modified to run on 2 cylinder unit.
The original point now are used for switching only and the unit fires the
plugs twice in case the first one does not fire off the mixture.
We now run the Onan plug gap at .30" gap.

Hey JimK, would that unit fire if there were a Pertronix unit installed
instead of points?
