Steve sent me the following over the E-mail:
Valve cage without the spring. Once this is pressed into the head, I will drill into
the head and into the cage to complete the port.
I have changed the design a little to provide a longer valve guide. Also thinking i
might shorten the valve some and make a teflon cap to cover the bronze cap to aid in
wear. The bronze cap is threaded on. Also thinking i might cut more off the valve to
make the valve head thinner and reduce weight.
Here is the distributor. Made longer for test purposes. The final one will be only
the top half. It is 1" in diameter and 1/2" deep.
This is the magnet and sensor. The scale is in inches.
This is the second try on the vane that blocks the magnet. The dark spot is the
magnet pressed into an aluminum mount.
Here is when i actually made a sparkplug snap. I have an idea on how to make a cap.
As soon as i find what i am looking for at work i'll try and make one. I dont know
if an 8 cyl is possible at this size. I may have to make 2-4 cyl versions and put
one on each side to keep some distance between the wires inside the cap. At any
rate, I am sure enough that it will work that i will start making parts for a single
cylinder very soon.
Single cylinder head drawing. I learned how to draw in cad making these drawings so
they might not be up to pro standard. They are good enough so i can make some parts.
