Bizarre twin plug set up ??

[dzlndan]

I figured since it has 2 MSD units on it, that maybe MSD made a belt driven distributor in the past. But the tech I spoke to one the phone today said they only make them for V8 engines. Looks like front mounts for GM small and big block motors.

Thanks for your hard work looking! I did the same.

This was one of the options he mentioned. Obviously borrowed from his years with the 962 engine:

Not a hi jack at all, love the input! Thanks

Just thinking it wouldn't be impossible to re-work the second dizzy you have, such that you could eliminate the belt and adapt it directly to the cam.

Did a quick google on timing belts and found a few places that sells belts and pulleys, for example: Robot MarketPlace - Timing Belts

If it has a twin plug set up, what kind of other goodies does this engine have?
