Bernard recommended routing out the 1" to 3/4" essentially creating an I-beam.The Cub had a 3/4" spar, so that is probably a safe bet to go with. -- Dan Yocumyocum137(at)gmail.com"I fly because it releases my mind from the tyranny of petty things."On Jun 24, 2011, at 6:00 PM, "Saver" wrote:> > Thanks Dan.

For you crank snappers out there. just wondering if some of you are running thedistributor with the electronic pickup on one side W/W sells now. I have beenhaving a big problem getting my 2 sets of points balanced to fire at the samedegree advance on mine. I sent it back to him and have one of the new style distributorscoming next week. but i am still running this Grand Rapids EIS inthe panel that DJ installed. initially it was giving fairly decent readings onthe one coil it is connected to but the last time or two I flew it after messingwith the gaps to get the timing closer it was way off. I plan on connectingthe electronic pickup to the EIS and maybe an electronic tach after gettingit in. leaving the other point side clean with nothing else on it but the coil,condenserand ballast resistor.I'm just wondering if anybody else had any problemsinstalling this style ignition pickup and any solutions if you did.

i just added a set of points to a mallory model a distributor and noticed the slightdifference in timing and had the thought of one just being a backup soit would be ok i'm sure.. dual points distributors are made that way on purpose.. to get more dwell whenrunning both sets to one coili planned on the more advanced set being the backup... making starting easier..i set the gap slightly less on the backup points... to get the timing closer..still in tolorance but not in the middle of the rangejeffRead this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... __________

Well per W/W's instructions I messed with mine by shifting the mount plate to theside some as it is loose enough on the screws it can be shifted some plus playedwith the gap.not having his distributor machine or patience I even deviseda shadetree method of my own. I glued a couple small pieces of thin paper toa rubber band and put them in the points and held slight tension on it and rotatedthe shaft till they would release.got it to where they were close to thesame- but still one set the timing mark would hunt fairly bad. I wondered ifi had a bad cam lobe -could'nt find any real slop in the shaft. anyway I hopefor better luck now. I am not satisfied with either the Datcon tach or the EIS.both were giving bad readings. again maybe bouncing points ? I contacted MarkLangford and he sent me a link to his site telling how he put a 27K ohm resistorin the circuit and it solved his problem.I do not have the manual for theEIS- have to guess that he meant in the coil- pickup wire and try it I guess.if I could find a decent electronic tach that worked properly I would soon removethe EIS. not because the info isn't valuable. but I have a mechanical oilgage and have satisfied my temps are good and not running any mixture control-that is wired full rich on the old Strombergh I don't think it's likely togo lean unless something breaks.and it just ain't natural in a Piet or wanna bePiet panel.th temp hit 111 here as I was coming back from town a little whileago. will likely be too hot to fly anyway today. may take a nap.
