The is an old Nissan motor that has a duel head distributor with 2 caps , I think that’s what the Aussie uses…..

It was a twin plug truck motor, and I believe the exact same distributor cap Stan used.

I know that stuff looks cool and all, but crankfire is just BETTER, by every metric. More accurate(massively), fatter(longer dwell is available because multiple coils) and higher voltage spark, and all the way up the rev range too. You know, where you need good and accurate spark.

Jake is still doing type4, but I'm not sure if it's for hire. I know he plays with aircooled for himself though.

Way back in the day, Jake wanted me to return my heads so he could twin-plug them. I'm sure I would have seen more power, he talked about 25 hp or so. And I could have upped the compression even more than the 10.2:1 it is now.

I'm pretty happy with the pull and drivability now, I can't see it getting much better for a naturally aspirated, aircooled VW of 2165cc.
