That makes sense I guess Alan, plus for a hillclimb car a dynamo is just dead weight.
Of course you also need space to install it, which appears to be the case here.

The reason I had the distributor driven from the camshaft (back in the day!) was to reduce power loss. Every little helps when racing. Only one thing robs power from a drive more than a 90 degree turn and that is two 90 degree turns.
Should of added to my last post it's a smashing little car. Wish I could find one like that.
