RE: Epp's dist machine

Epp,
Why not just take a distributor and hook a A/C motor to that.
Why are you carrying a block, crank, etc etc, around.  I don't know about
you but my block weighs a ton and I really don't have the space to keep a
block around just to make a distributor machine.
All you need is a distributor and all the electronics.  also set up
something on the motor so you can adjust Rpm's. But that would be about it,
I would say.
