Jarvis Twin Plug Distributors

Does anyone know where to find information on Jarvis twin plug distributors.
I was able to dredge up little information using a Google search.
I am trying to find out several things:

First, where are they made and what company makes them....
.
Second, how to contact that company for spare parts, technical data and so forth....

Does anyone here on the Pelican forum have any practical experience using the
Jarvis distributors......

Any opinions on the quality, functionality, and performance of Jarvis twin plug distributors

Thanks in advance........AV8TOR

Just had a very nice conversation with David Jarvis. He was very helpful.

Can a CW be converted to a CCW? I know where to get my hands on one if it could be done.

Not putting miles on your car is like not having sex with your girlfriend, so she'll be more desirable to her next boyfriend.

Yes. All you need to do is change the drive gear. My Jarvis (30 mm shaft) came with two gears, one for CW, the other for CCW.

That's good to know, but wouldn't something need to be done with the advance mechanism as well?

If the distributor have an advance mechanism it will have to be replaced.

I would call Aaron @ Rennwerks Inc. to have it converted.

Thanks Henry, I knew there had to be more to it. Starting to negate the "deal" price.

One last question.... does the Jag cap and rotor have enough leg room to be locked out and be used with a MSD al6-2 programmable?
