[QUOTE="Oldhaven, post: 62708, member: 2879"] I also found a later article by Geoff that proposes a less expensive method that requires just one black box and kit, and in my case I suppose the Boyer Commando kit would work. Halfway down the page he describes this in a general way. One pickup pin on the stator is cut off to remove the 180 degree waste spark and one magnet on the rotor is moved. I am not sure how this would work with the printed circuit board on the back of the stator and the individual wires to the coil, so I will trust that this has been done successfully. This would not have the individual adjustability of the original Norton 10CA points, and would have to done very accurately, but would be no different than the ground KVF ring cam in that sense.
