ignition recommendations
i've got a pobjoy 1916 with an old 050 dizzy, but the cap's borked. i've been having fun (!) trying to track down a replacement cap and it seems
that no one has any or knows where to get one.
so, i'm gonna bin this one. a couple of the places i spoke to recommended the 009 mainly because of the availablity.
i'm sure this has been covered before, so i'll go and have a dig around for old threads now, but in case my search is unsuccessful, what would you
guys recommend?

Here is a good article to read on dizzies / ingnition
http://www.aircooled.net/gnrlsite/resource/articles/distributor.htm
What carbs you running?? - twins??
Cheapest acceptable option - 009
Best expanable option - MSD
By the way
Aircooled.net sell 050 caps for $16.95US
have a play around their site. Lots of stories to read about each product listed
Futue te ipsum!!!

I use a Crane XR700/3000. It has an optical pickup. The only problem is you lose the retard on number 3. Have had it installed for 5 years and have
not adjusted the timing at all. We ran an Allison (before it became Crane) on our old type 3 for 15 years without any trouble and I still have the
unit here...saving it for a rainy day!! There are also Petronics etc but I have not tried them. They are cheaper and probably just as reliable. They
Crane was about $350 + the coil. The other systems are under the $150 mark and can use a standard coil. HTH.

what is the difference between the 050 and the 009 (and the 010 for that matter)
if you are gonna bin the 050, i would be keen to take it off your hands.
i have a compufire with elec ignition and coil pack so the lack of cap doesnt bother me. i can t comment on the setup as the engine has yet to be
turned over.
let me know about the 050 as it would be good for some research to wee if i can work out the differences
