Gridgway Posted March 29, 2022 Share Posted March 29, 2022 Was just musing over a crossflow 7 at Sevens and Classics and saw this pic - looks like a distributor-less ignition. Any ideas on what it might be?https://sevensandclassics.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/02/IMG_7939-700x525.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
p.mole1 Posted March 30, 2022 Share Posted March 30, 2022 Possibly a Ford ignition coil driven by an aftermarket ECU Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roger King Posted March 30, 2022 Share Posted March 30, 2022 Can't tell from the photo, but it's likely that the engine has been fitted with a toothed trigger wheel and sensor. Once that's done it's a relatively simple matter to fit an aftermarket ECU and a coil pack. In theory, it could even be that a distributor is being used to trigger the ECU but that would be largely pointless (yes, yes, I know, it's a terrible pun) because you'd lose all the precision of the ECU timing control.

rj Posted March 31, 2022 Share Posted March 31, 2022 Even with carbs 3D ignition will significantly improve drivability and fuel consumption Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
