Ignition assembly adapter system

An Ignition Assembly Adaptel System permitting the use of an ignition assembly on a combustion engine having a camshaft, said ignition assembly being of the type having an ignition distributor with a cylindrical mounting portion housing a rotor, said adapter system comprising:

• an ignition assembly support for supporting an ignition distributor in a position external to a said combustion engine, said ignition assembly support comprising an adapter base plate and a sleeve member fixedly united together for mounting on the exterior of a combustion engine at a location adjacent to the camshaft of said combustion engine, said sleeve member having an interior passage for receiving the cylindrical mounting portion of an ignition distributor, said adapter base plate having an annular aperture therethrough and opening into the interior passage of said sleeve member, and
• a drive assembly for transferring rotational motion of the camshaft of said combustion engine to an ignition distributor received in the sleeve member of said ignition assembly support, said drive assembly being mountable to an end of said camshaft for rotation therewith and being connectable to the rotor in the cylindrical mounting portion of said ignition distributor such that said drive assembly transmits rotation of said camshaft to the rotor of said ignition distributor.
