[QUOTE="oexing, post: 176753, member: 1493"] We lot on the continent are quite unfamiliar with ATDs in the drive gear. Typically this device is on the breaker end of a mag or distributor where it will not do much damage on timing stops like breaking ears off the Lucas type. Seems to me same effect like broken gears in Altons or triplex chains from the unspeakable ESA on the crank. All throttle blipping will hit stops in the ATD with force as there is a wide range from retard to advance till the drive gear can spin up the mass of the rotor. So when thinking about mag or coil ignition I´d rather have a distributor with ATD on breaker end on the Vincent as the old Lucas mag is not nice anyway to elder people when no electric leg has been added already.
