Thread: 101 24v Timing?

With a 24 volt type distributor I am aiming for Petronix system as there are no external boxes or connections out side the distributor other than the coil itself.
I am still running a civie type 12 volt distributor which is now running the Petronix system and this has been a great improvement for water proofing a civie type 12 volt system.
My previous electronic system had a external box which was suspect to water.
The standard coil location in line with the fan blades and fan belt gets sprayed with water.
With a petronix system totally sealed in the 24 volt distributor and use of a suppressed/water proof coil and lead I should get a better set up again.
As the suspressed spark plugs are hard to get and expensive I was thinking of using civie type HT leads unsuppressed , but using the suppressed end fittings on the distributor.
Civie sparkplugs would be used and the motor bike type very water resistant sparkplug connectors.

It's official, the timing light will not trigger from the 24V shielded leads.
Working perfectly now is "patent pending" 101 nextension lead.

Using original spark plug centre, lead from Supa-cheap, few zip ties, take plug 1 out and replace with stand issue and its works fine. (lucky Dave did not think of it first!)
