Who's Ed ?

Texas T Parts distributor didn't use a bell-crank but thanks anyway - I found a copy of the original instructions for mounting.

Hi Steve,
Any chance you can post those instructions I would love to see the original linkage ( I think the linkage I have is some kind of Disney production)
The linkage on the Rader dizzy I have on my speedster works OK but I just picked up another one. Thanks.
Craig.
