One of my halffies has a military cap, but mcgyvered civilian wires and plugs. One of the wires is shot.
I've tried to MacGyver x2 and it's not working.
I have an old civilian conversion for my pinzgauer laying around. The cap adapter fits the halffie distributor.
Can I use the pinz civilian conversion on a halffie? The rotor clears fine. I figure I'll try the 4cyl cap and see how it goes.

Well if you can use the 2 oppesit points of the 4 cyl cap it should work

It did work! Perfectly!
I converted a civilian ignition pinz to pinzssi. Had the the old distributor and kit laying around, including a pertronix.
Moved it all over to the haflinger and it works great!
I just covered the extra 2 ports on the cap

Of course if you use a wasted spark coil you can run a Haflinger engine without a rotor or dizzy cap - just put the cap on to keep the dirt out.

Magic - all you need is a dual output wasted spark coil pac
. As both spark leads fire at the same time, on a 2 cylinder engine you do not need a cap or rotor - fires just on the points - but fires both cylinders at the same time.
