dave -- the goal would be to make a flathead more like its larger counterparts in fire engines and old 1930s cars. the dual spark provided redundancy where one system could fail and the other would still operate. the added benefit of better fuel mileage, etc is not of interest to me. it would be a cool project to modify 2 6 cylinder distributors to operate 2 ignition systems off of a common shaft going to the distributor. with the lack of good ignition parts these days, having 2 independent systems would be a plus.
