How rules were 'bent' in old days. (pic's)

Some old vintage rules stated "no crankfire". Here is an Electromotive HPV-1 Bosch 911 distributor mounted trigger wheel. This one if my memory serves correctly is for twin plug.

that is creative ! Usually crankfire is not allowed as it is harder to police rev limits.

I have one of those, but--it never made it pass Tech because no distributor cap with 6 (or 12) plug wires. It works equally well with single or twin plug; just plug a Y-cable in and you are set to go

Very clever guys over at Electromotive...

A little story and perspective...

Before Don Devendorf started Electromotive and ran the US factory Nissan IMSA effort, he was racing in the same SCCA C-Sedan class my friend Hector was in his Alfa GTA Jr. in 1973. After pretty much sewing-up the regional C/S title we thought we'd go run with the 'big boys' at a couple of National races...

We're at Riverside and in pulls Devendorf towing the brand new Sun & Moon sponsored Datsun B-210 for it's maiden race..... Devendorf broke the C/Sedan National class record on his second practice lap...

Reading the writing on the wall we figured that day was end of the 'little guy', out of his garage at home, winning at a National level........

Oh, besides all the backing... Don was a hell'of'a driver to boot....

.... and so it goes
