The Dual is for a Continental Tiara Six Cylinder. The drive turns at 3/4X
Crankshaft speed where as most six cylinder engines turn at 1.5X Crankshaft
speed, They compensated for this by having four magnets on the Magneto
armature instead of two. I have researched it pretty thoroughly, there is no
single that will fit so I need to negate one side of the dual.
Thanks, Doug
