OK, I know it takes air, fuel, spark, and timing to run, but...Say you wanted to install your new engine in the chassis, and make it to where you could start the engine. I am thinking of making a panel from plywood which would house a water temperature and
oil pressure guage, and a tachometer to monitor the engine while running. The radiator and complete cooling system would be intact. Fuel pump is mechanical, with a constant source of fuel. Also, a 12v battery with a wired switch that basically connects the battery to the starter (bypassing the solenoid).
I am trying to draw up a diagram with all supporting equipment needed with the Duraspark electronic ignition. I obviously need an ignition module, but what all else would be needed? I dont want to use a solenoid, voltage regulator, etc., or anything that is not absolutely needed, just to keep it simple. I want a cart type thing that I can wheel up to the engine, and to be able to start it and let it run awhile every now and then.
So in addition to the battery, starter switch, coil, cooling system, and ignition module, what else would be necessary?
Thanks for any help,
Greg
