Hi all! I have a W5 with a broken off distributor that I bought explicitly to try an construct a distributorless ignition for. Well challenge completed and my boss says it has to go. It will be going to the recycler very soon unless one of you would like the entire motor or parts from it.

Here's the engine running on YouTube;

Reply soon for photos, parts requests or to arrange for whole engine shipment. All I'm asking for is the cost of shipping; the motor is free. I'm a die-hard gearhead and I hate to see this go to the scrapyard, but I've had my fun with it.

Hi Shane, That really sounds good, nice going! What kind of car did you get the system from? Bill

Do You own a car built by Durant? Have a Star engine, transmission, Chassis, and steering. Hoping to build a Star speedster

I will be picking up the engine on Monday. I'll talk to Shane about the distributorless ignition system he developed. Should be interesting.

I would love to learn more about the distributorless ignition system.

Rick-A distributorless ignition system for our engines would sure be hard to disguise as stock! Individual coil packs and crank position sensors with a "Autolite" logo? But you could sure dial in the correct firing and bulletproof reliability!

I've learned a lot about this type of system on my Dodge 5.7 Hemi.
I have an extra 14L engine and would be interested in tuckering with a DIS.
My be a good Durant Speedster project.

Tinkering, I meant tinkering.
I blame the spell checker ;-)

I wonder if a Pertronix system could be designed for our small diameter AutoLite distributors.

Don- See technical page for Phil Peters article on a Pertronix ignition set-up. I followed it for my 6-14 system. Take those points out and run them over with your car!(although I never had any problem with the Durant set-up, just my British car Lucas distributor)

Yes, I read that article. Is there a kit for a 4 cylinder engine?

Don- The tech people at Petronix are very helpful. Maybe get all the info ready for the six cylinder set-up and ask what it would take to use it on a four cylinder(maybe just change the trigger wheel?)Ross
