The ignition brain box is loosing it's goo and it has started missing/running poorly. In all my Google searches all I can find is reference to points and condenser ignition systems. Since this engine was used in a lot of industrial applications I'd think there should be some cross reference information out there someplace. I just can't seem to find the right keywords to locate it.
