i was wondering if anyone had pictures of the way that the plug wires go into what looks like a magneto. i'm building one for a good friend's dad and i wanted to get it as close to "proper" as possible.

thanks in advance for any help

Nothing special about it. Just put them on the cap the same way you do a dist.

I use 1/8" aluminum tubing about 1/4" long, with a smaller tube (3/32" I think) inserted partially into the 1/8 tube and super glued together. The smaller tube is about 3/8" long. The aluminum is polished before cutting. Then I glue in the ignition wires that I buy from Scale Dreams.
