$200 FINDERS FEE to anyone wo can find me a jackson roto-faze dual point distributor in any condition or enouch parts to fab one. Thanks, Ron K. 734-449-4951, ckrego@aol.com

 

Where did youu find your roto-faze?

 

I had one on a 4 banger I had a couple years ago.
I used a Jacobs computer ignition with it..(Blue box just above the distributor)
Ran .070 plug gap and it had so much spark it almost didn't need gas.
Turned 6500 twice a lap when the engine was in my race car.

 

Are you interested in selling your roto-faze? We need it desparetly for a magazine project. Ron ckrego@aol.com

Why not try Roto-Faze direct??
They are in current production.

Ask for Joe.

 

I collect vintage quarter midgets (race cars for kids) and Kong Jackson built some speed equipment for them in the late 1950's including a distributor. I was lucky to find a nice one. I do not know how many he built, but my guess is not very many! Thanks.

 

Yeah...I may do that....
If I were to shell out the $$$ for one...it'd HAVE to be the one with opposing twin caps however.

 

I was aware of the Jackson ignition for the Continental quarter midget
engines...I built many of those engines in the 50's and used that unit on quite a few.

 

Where at in Fife? I work there too, heck of a commute from Milton. If you buy a RotoFaze from Joe it will be the new style. He tried to get me to "upgrade" mine when I talked to him a few years ago. I wasn't interested at all.

 

I usually eat lunch one day a week at the Poodle Dog..

Sitting in a building with a bunch of small block racing engines, blowers, mags, etc...

 

Damn, I thought the Spalding was cool so I bought one. Now I need one of these!

 

Bump.....anyone have a pic with the top cover removed????

 

as soon as my batteries are up on my camera, I'll have some....

 

pics are up.....

 

Cool....thanks S****s! So the points are under the top and just the rotors are under the caps.....that's bad***....
I want one....bad....

 

Ok....so I got a RotoFaze from a fellow Hamber (Thanks Josh!) It's a single cap unit....decal says 1963.

Now some help.
How is the timing set? I ***ume you set the dizzy itself at 0*????

 

I've seen that posted before....however, I can't make out the words.

 

Those ignitions RULE!!

 

Does anyone know what pertronix kit fits the Roto-Faze SRS8P I have for my 8BA flathead?

 

Being a dual point I'm not sure that the conversion would work??
I like the pertronix units, but if I had a roto faze, I sure wouldn't convert it.

 

old post but I got one of these the other day when I bought my 32 henry coupe....what a super cool ignition, does anybody know the year this style was made? darn thing looks brand new, he told me the acorn nuts are rare and original to this ignition too...

 

I've got a more standard Roto Faze for a Studebaker engine.

Late 50s Id say. Mines the ttaditional style and its dated 1962
