As some of you who know who dabble in vintage garden tractors. You can't buy Tecumseh ignition parts anymore. I have come across a few different methods of building replacement ignition systems.
One using a GM HEI module and a ford speed sensor as a crank trigger, and a standard 12v coil.
Now this method doesn't allow for the "easy" start up of first spark at TDC. Due to not having the ability to advance the timing. You have to set it up to just start and run at full 20 deg advance.
Now I've seen another guy use an ls2 coil, an ls2 crank trigger that's induction style and a Chrysler ignition control module to build a setup that allows for ignition advance.
I also seen a guy talking about using a dura spark setup to achieve the same thing. Any ideas on how that's possible?
