One thing you could find off a combine engine is a magneto that fits in the distributorhole! I had two of these made up by the Vertex company that made themin the 1930s.Bill Sayre> ----------

Good point! I hadn't thought of that. What other components might be useful?Anybody have any ideas. I guess the mags alone will be reason enough to go look.Greg Yotz________________________________________________________________________________

You're right. I happened upon a worker at Vertex that remembered making mags formodel-As and said he could built a couple for me (a friend and myself havejoined forces to build two Piets). One thing I forgot to mention to Greg Yotzis that it may be necessary to have the spark advance changed. I'm not surewhat a combine used. [hope you read this Greg]Bill Sayre> ----------

Yes, I got that. I had talked to a gentlemen who use to work on them and he hadsaid the same thing. He also said that the intake and exhaust hardware wouldbe usless.GYSayre, William G wrote:> You're right.
