Hal,

Sometime I gotta get one of you IHC guys to educate me on those IHC mags (I need to get one n take it apart n study on it lol). Heres my question, You and I or Jim discussed this a while back and you or him even posted a page from a manual buttttttt I forgot it grrrrrrrrrr. On mags with the spring wind n trip impulse assembly, before the spring winds n the impulse trips, it looks to me like the rotor tip position would be BEFORE where it would be when she trips n fires IS THAT RIGHT OR NOT?????????

If it issssssss right?????? How about if hes setting up a distributor timing from scratch we should advise him to get the No 1 piston at TDC on its Compression Power Stroke and thennnnnnnnn install the distributor so the rotor tip is lined up with the internal cap tower that leads to that No 1 cylinder??????????

Of course, if the mag dont work like I was guessing, I see n understand your post as the easy simplest way to install the distributor so its in basic time.

Henry,

Once you have the distributor n switch as Hal mentioned (I would feed battery voltage to the ignition switches BAT input terminal from the ammeters load side terminal and its IGN output down to the coil, of course) you need a coil. That would be a 6 volt coil if its a 6 volt tractor, while if its a 12 volt tractor you can use EITHER a full true 12 volt coil or a 6 volt coil plus a series ballast resistor.

John T NOT an IHC Mag guy but like to learn
