I did a search on this and didn't turn up anything. Has anyone ever done this and if so, how? I have seen it done with dual point distributors, dual coils, and a MSD Automatic Coil Selector but I haven't seen a dual point distributor on a Sube. Has anyone else?

Thanks in advance,

The EA82T distributor doesn't use points. The main reason for dual point distributors was to generate more coil voltage for the spark. Coils were limited in the amount of spark they could produce in part by the physical limitations of mechanical points. Since the electronic ignition supplies more voltage than a dual point distributor would, it wouldn't make sense to convert it.

It would make a lot of sense after your lone ignition module craps out 10,000 feet over water.

 

Here is a dual ignition EA-81.EA-82 similar.

Sorry. I confess to being car-centric.

Is this for an airplane? go to the transplants section they may have information there.
