Notes on  the Performance Workshop 
Like most of the folks posting, I had a great  time  at the 2007 workshop. 
The 
weather never really bit me, and I  got home at a  reasonable time on Sunday. 
Silicone Wire Systems did  have a couple of new items  on display in Dayton. 
One is a  performance item for the  Corvair engine, the other is an accessory 
 
item for almost any Corvair.  
The performance item is a  conversion kit to  install an MSD distributor on 
the Corvair engine.  The MSD distributor has a  built-in magnetic trigger and 
can 
be used  to drive almost any performance  ignition system. As shown at 
Dayton,  
the system used an aftermarket racing  HEI module and a special coil  to 
produce a racing level ignition system, without  any extra  electronic box. 
It comes 
with the extra hardware to select the speed   and amount of Mechanical 
advance, but still retains the capability of  vacuum  advance, too. The cap 
is larger 
than the Corvair one, and  requires a little  dimple for full clearance to 
the 
top shroud. The  only piece needed to adapt the  unit for the Corvair is a 
replacement  main distributor shaft. The intent is to  sell the shafts on an  
exchange basis, allowing the competitor to buy the  distributor and  just 
change out 
the shaft. Prices and availability will be  available  soon.   
The new accessory item is an aluminum billet hub   adapter to allow the 
1965-66 Corvair to use most any aftermarket wheel.  It  provides a smooth 
finished 
appearance, without a stack of  separate adapters. The  64-66 Corvair has 
unique 
mounting splines on  the steering shaft, and only one  universal-style 
adapter 
has been  available for many years. The new 3” tall  adapter is available in  
polished aluminum. In the future, black anodizing will  be an option.  The 
first 
units are designed to use the Grant “Signature Series”   wheels. The 
adapters 
will be available in about a month. The estimated  price is  $87, and it 
comes 
with a snap in horn button, full horn  mechanism and a new  Delrin 
turn-signal 
canceling cam installed. It  is ready to go! Wait till you see  this piece! 
If you want to see a  picture of the hub – as installed on a column – Just  
drop me back a  note and I will send a photo.  – Seth   Emerson





Seth, do you--or anyone else-- have anything to convert a Mallory  
distributor from points to magnetic or optical ignition? I have one--hasn't been  used 
for years due to lack of availability of points AND a worn-out  vacuum  advance 
that nobody knows where to get parts for.
