I had friends that used to port those intakes and put a Holley adapter on it ,they ran good.

Wasup Naz ....breaking down another engine I see ....so far that thing needs alot of work !!

Despite the tell-tail sign of it being exposed to water(at the least) the eccentric's nut and bolt seem to have came off w/ some ease. Housing bolts as well.. 💪👍

Exactly what I was thinking, very odd engine. If isn't one thing it's another with these rotaries....

@@nazmazosr1260 they can be! Pretty temperamental pieces of uniqueness that they are!..lol

Deary me, what a cadaver! 😱 For the first ten minutes you had me thinking this looked a lot better than Noriaki's old engine: the distributor gears weren't eaten up, there was a chain tensioner in place, and the chain hadn't hacked away at the counterweight. But then, well... That's another twin-dizzy heading straight for the crematorium!

Lol yes, this is one of the worst engines yet that I have come across...

I Knew a guy that found a bunch of those double ignition 12As brand new in a warehouse they were going to thru them away.
