Bolt it on and find out.

If its still good it will give you a better spark

They look awesome too..... added bonus.

Make sure that you secure the top of the magneto to something that doesnt move (maybe with a bracket to the fan shroud or something). What I have heard is that due to their extra height and weight compared to a dizzy, they can rock in the hole a bit and turn it from circular to oval........ not easy to fix.

Would look good with a Judson supercharger in an oval or old kg :)

Was thinking of shoving it into my oval just for shows, looks sweet.

Will bring it to the Nationals next Easter but will have to trial it first.
