I saw a tape from Ron Gowan showing his 13b powered
LongEZ. The tape showed him inserting an ignition distributor from a 1985
rotary into his 1989 engine. It had dual igniters, and what appeared to be dual
vacuum advance cans. He then attached the vacuum lines to a port near the
oil filler tube. I assume that this is like a standard
automotive distributor, and that he was probably not using electronic ignition.
I assume he probably used the stock Mazda coils...couldn't tell from the
video. Anyone ever have an older Mazda that used the distributor ignition
care to comment about it's reliability as well as functionality?
Thanks in advance for any info. Paul Conner.
