    Huh?.... what?..... what the hells that freak show?!!!! :eek:o_O :rolleyes::D.

    As you well know Harley’s came with “dual fire” ignition. Both pistons go up, one is on compression stroke, and the other is on exhaust stroke, but both cylinders fire at the same time. With the introduction of electronic ignition came the aftermarket electronic “single fire” ignition.

    Well this is the Oldskool version of single fire using factory points and condenser. The points cover is about 1/2” or 5/8” thick. It serves as a distributor, and the center plug wire is from the coil. Other 2 wires are cylinder #1 & #2 of course. The rotar button is on the camshaft. Wish I would have kept it.

    One of our loader operators laid his down on a curve down there last July and he’s still off, lucky to be alive

    We used the old Ford plant on Redbank rd as a staging area years ago, I was surprised a couple years ago I came up through there and it’s all gone. I live fairly close to Honda but never wanted to work there even though everyone said I should.

    The Ford transmission plant I was talking about is in Sharonville. Sharon Road & Mostellar. Red Bank is out of my " known area's " of town. I looked it up, I don't remember what kind of production facility Ford had there ?

    I’m not a Harley guy but I thought that looked a little different

    First time I ever saw the name of that band it was on a T-shirt. I had a moment of @Lysdexis and transposed the spelling and thought it said Hogfat instead of Foghat. I was scratching my head trying to figure out why a band would pick that name. That would be a good name for a tribute band eh ?
