Yes I know about the adaptors that can fit onto the front of the camshaft. I friend has a T16 which was a very late release from the British Army and it is fitted with a crab and a standard ignition coil. It came to him like this and I would say it was a British Army conversion. Interestingly he is one of two owners of a T16 that has not experienced the curse of the hot failures. The other was a brand new crated T16 bought back in the 70s and that was fine too. I think if a T16 was a road car many owners would have experimented more with them, but as they usually get transported to events, and home again it sort of gets lived with, but my time has come. I searched on Mallory Ignition last night and see that they have re introduced the electronic ignition distributor so now I have 3 choices, an original Crab, Mallory or Stromberg
