Re: flame throwers

You need a cheap 12v blower motor, 2 sets of ignition points, 2 coils,2 plugs, 2 anti foulers, some plug wires and a on off on toggle switch. Drill holes in the pipes, cut off the closed end of the anti foulers weld them in the pipe as bungs, install the spark plugs in the pipe use a short gap .25-.35. Find a place to mount the coils and run the plug wires. Take the blower motor make a plate to mount the points use a 7/16 nut with a set screw to open and close the points. If you don't understand look at a points dizzy to get a better idea. Mount close to the coils. Wire in the toggle to the main ignition feed to the distributor. One side to the dist, the other to the blower motor. the purpose of the switch is to kill the coil and spin the points. Tune the carb rich or pull the choke. Rev up the engine to around 2500, rapidly flick the switch from ignition to the flame throwers and you will get flame. Experiment with the rhythm and you will find what works best. Jay
