DIY buffalo electronic ignition

[RDZombie]

Id be surprised if someone hasnt already done this but if not...I had been looking for an electronic ignition for the 74 I picked up but didn't really like anything I saw. The Boyer looks almost homemade and wasn't too impressed with the fit n finish on the one a buddy got for his bonnie , I didn't want exposed PCBs either. I wasn't keen on an external controller like the Newtronics (or optical triggers) This is what I came up with, cheap at 120$ out the door.

And does it work ?

Long time members or folks good at using a search tool will recall the Dyna S home brew which yours sort of resembles. Richard posted details on his web site - see this link:

Is yours the same thing ?

Yup sure does, tho right now my rotor is still just a functional mock up. The dyna home brew was actually the inspiration but I got tired of waiting on ebay for cheap enough used dyna setups to hack. These are Accuspark points replacement kits for VWs, similar to the pertronix ignitor.

Interesting.
Let us know how it works out.

Thanks,

So .. not too bad at around $138.00 US and everything is behind the engine cover .

And just to confirm - you used the supplied trigger ring ?

I did, it's a 4 magnet trigger ring, using a razor I removed 3 of the magnets ( which was very easy) then used a piece of tubing (axel tube from the front wheel of a scag commercial zero turn mower, perfect diam.) Ground one side into a square to fit the inside of the trigger ring on the other end a notch to fit the GTs cam shaft. Ill snap a pic of the rotor next time I have it off. Really a very simple job.
I got them off their us distributor on eBay at 39.95 shipped each so 120$ total. I'm a cheap bastard so every cent counts
