    How much does he want for the mag plate? I would buy it anyway if it is reasonbly priced… True, you will probably end up staying with the original system, but having the extra pieces is always good… Especially if the mag plate pilot bushing is in great shape… Two extra driver coils, and the all important primary wiring harness….
    Would you mind sharing the ebay link with us? I promise not to buy it..
    OK, so it seems like you are going to buy it, good… Once it arrives, please take detailed pictures of how the driver coils are connected to the points…Like I say, either the two driver coils are connected in series, with one end of each connected to a set of points. Or, one leg of each driver coil is grounded… If you can, ask the seller if his flywheel has one or two magnets…
    It will only take a few moments to just install that mag plate the way it is to see if it sparks. Let us know….
