We would like to settle definitely what scheme of ignition wiring we are going to use on the high power engines. At the present moment we consider that the appearance of the engine is completely spoiled by the scheme with the wires coming out of the top of the distributor with separate leads. We admit that we were anxious to try out this arrangement, but it is doubtful whether we sacrifice very much by tidying up the ignition as on the Wraith. Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} | ||
