Apologies for this, it is late in a day of grandfathering 3 small children and a village meeting. My tiny brain has stopped working altogether.
If Chris Blakey's distributor keeps chewing gears, how could an alternative be driven?
It would be fairly easy to make a direct drive off the end of the dynamo, more difficult but possible to do a right angle off the camshaft, but what speed does the dynamo do relative to engine speed?
I know it sounds crazy, from here, but the Russians are good at making do - whilst researching the trip I came across a couple whose Corsa engine blew, but they came back in the Corsa with a non Vauxhall engine transplant
and a rally car that broke a crankshaft near the workshops of a power station, where they knocked the rallyists up another crank, and they went on their way.
