Rice Racing M&W CDI COP Set-up

[C. Ludwig]

Lance could probably put together a coil with an end to mate directly to the spark plug instead of the HEI top currently on the coil. The expense you'll go through building what you have designed may warrant at least exploring a custom coil. He has many different versions of the coil currently. There may already be something in his catalog that works.

Any chance you can rotate the coils 180* to give more clearance at the front?

Love what you're doing here!

I know it would require redoing the block mount as well, but it would liberate more space.

Wayne @ M&W Ignitions is sending me his new CDI coils so I can do a specific design for these.

For the IGN-1A instead of a bespoke coil end, I'd like to make something that will suit the many thousands of coils out there? prob makes most sense as the coils are inexpensive and would appeal to a majority of people?............ I am open to ideas on that, but a few people like Okada Projects (now IP) are doing modified versions of these that are better than the original so I'd like to keep with using that as my 'Inductive COP option'

Swinging the coil to be vertical means more space, will require new coil mounts and engine mount, I'll work on another version see what I come up with and how fast I can do it LOL. The issue I see with this is the chassis rail as well as a stupidly long coil spacer/bracket though I'll do a quick model of it, but I think it wont really work well.

Hmmmm, I'll have to sleep on this I think
Maybe should put some thought into trying to utilize the knock sensor mounting hole, but I don't really want to effect the function of the knock sensor (which would have to be repositioned) but it would get rid of all of the problems with different series of engines and center plates........

Dunno, I have the #1 design locked away (V2 OEM fitment).
This vertical iteration I don't like the long spacing of the coil, lower rail could be issue, I know on my last COP set up shit was very tight down there getting it on and off with the horizontal set up. The center mount would need to be much larger and I'd have to go with a 4 coil mounting fixing method to get over the length of a one piece mount with the coils mounted vertically.
