Your on the right path witb trying to cut the ac down/out for sure, my idea is to still use a point set as a coil trigger. But the novas would allow for a less mechanical advatage and drag on the crank, but how is the balanced weight of the rotating assembly affected by not having a points cam installed? As far as coil windings go, I’m sure that if I was to take my sweet old time and build them Made In Merica style theyd be a force to be reconed with, 🙂 high voltage :p
