I've been running my outfit for years using a Series D distributor minus original cap(replaced with cap from BSA C10) and rotor arm in conjunction with an H-D coil. This set up has been totally reliable an easy to service.:)


Looks like another option - one set of points, opening twice, and triggering a two lead coil?

Even the "D" distributor has it's querks. Having recently fitted some new points , using a dial gauge i've noticed that one of the cams is 3 thou higher than the other. So when adjusting the points one has to take this into account. Even so it's the most reliable in my opinion.

The points would need to be connected in series.


I think that's what I was missing.

I'm not sure how to connect them in series, I'd need to isolate the fixed point from the back plate on one set of points.

Strange, it seemed so easy when I was painting and thinking at the same time.
