Getting Simonini Victor 1 Ready To Go - Engine Modifications The front end of the engine with out the radiator in place. One can see the excessive spark plug wire length and all the wires on the carburetor side of the engine. By rotating the ignition modules 180 degrees, I was able to reduce sparkplug wire length and to re-route the ignition trigger, exciter coils and alternator coil leads to in front of the engine. To get the lower trigger coil wire up to the lower ignition module, I had to drill holes through supporting case webs to enable the wire to reach. It is the wire coming out above to the starter. A short terminal barrier strip is shown, but will not be used. This view is from the starter side and shows the lower trigger lead passing through the holes drilled into the webs. Two bosses that were molded on to the end of the starter were removed to reduce weight. The starter motor will be rotated 180 degrees to put the electrical connector toward the engine and down to minimize wire lead length and weight. Before the wires were moved, the ignition modules rotated and high tension leads shortened. After the wires were moved. This change cleans up the area under the water pump and it will make it easier to plumb the tubing that must travel from the back of the water pump toward the rear of the engine, then down and forward to the bottom port on the radiator.
