Twin Plug Distributor Question
 
Are any of you familiar with the Jarvis twin plug distributors what info can you provide?

How do you determine the advance?

Can these distributors be recurved?


Thanks

Yessir, I am.

You need a distributor machine to determine advance and a selection of springs (GM) to change anything.

Thanks Steve, what can you tell me about them?
Durability, availability of replacement parts, etc?

Would you be able to perform a recurve if required and how much? Thanks again.

These use GM HEI internals: the magnetic PU and advance mechanism, so parts are easily available. These use a Jaguar V12 cap with a custom rotor for the Porsche motor.

I can do it if you aren't in any kind of hurry. :) :)

Aaron @ Rennwerks should be at the top of the list for all your distributor needs even if you need it in a hurry.

Thanks again Steve. Will this distributor work with one MSD or will it require 2?

Thanks.

I always use two MSD's and two coils.
