A friend in Florida rigged up his own non-magneto ignition robbed
from a late-model motorcycle and installed it on his O-200-powered
Murphy Renegade. If I recall correctly he has it set up to advance
itself as much as 35
degrees. Any more anecdotes about nonstandard ignition boxes?

I just completed a similar thing.
An old magneto without coil, points...
I drill the distributor and bolt two magnetic sensor at 90° angle
I made a steel plate in the distributor gear for one pulse each 180°
I purchased a CDI box from M&W (http://www.mwignition.com) and two
coils.

I would love to build what you have.
Any way to get FULL details?

I realize there are some folks here afraid to
even post tires pressures, but what the hell...
can't hurt to ask. g

FWIW...
In the mid 60's, I built a transistor ignition setup.
It worked, sorta'.. but no way would I have trusted
my life to it in an airplane. Reliability was an issue.

A couple years later, I built a CDI - a lot better....
but still nothing I would install/trust in an airplane.
I'm a pretty damn good tech, but no EE.....
or suicide candidate.
