Re: Electronic ignition - 6cy 2.4 75hp
Hi
Assuming that your car is positive earth then I would suggest you do not bother I had nothing but trouble with the Dart. If you distributor is worn then I would suggest you get the Distributor Doctor to rebuild it. He is not cheap but does an excellent job.

Re: 1910 Russell-Knight (Daimler engine)
Hi Peter
If you look at the Data sheets section you will find one on the sleeve valve engine. it may be of some interest if nothing else. I can not remember where I got the information from but I think it is reliable.
