Does this H&C use the same high voltage parts as the crab?

Very little other than the fact of running twin coils ( two four cylinder ignitions) allowing higher dwell time and added reliabiltiy at high rpm. I suggest using the Bosch blues ( paint them if ya like) with these units....
These were made way before the invention of the orange motors and took a place in history........they do look pretty cool...

The spark advance is totally at the mercy of the Load-a-matic. Not so good with multiple carbs. I used to have one.
