Magneto Drives

RCD's Offset and Dual Magneto Drives are machined from solid billet aluminum or magnesium with the housing closely conforming to the outside of the belt to minimize any belt whip.

NOTE: To maintain accurate magneto timing the drive belt is a Gates 8mm Poly-chain GT®. This belt does not stretch - same construction as blower belts. Refer to: RCD Drive Belts for additional information.


Offset Magneto Drive

The Offset Magneto Drive clamps to our Fuel Pump Extensions. It extends the fuel pump out 2.45" while providing a drive for a Magneto or 426 style Dry Sump Oil Pump. The second drive is parallel to the fuel pump drive and offset 6.60". The input drive shaft is machined from heat treated chrome-moly steel with ball bearings on both sides of the drive sprocket. A flexible coupler between the magneto and drive minimizes impact loading on the magneto. A 3/8-16 tapped hole is provided on the back of the magneto side to brace the housing. Weight 3.16 lbs.

The Drive can be clocked to any position!

Dual Magneto Drive

The Dual Magneto Drive is used in conjunction with the Angled Magneto Drive. The 10 degree offset of the Angled Magneto Drive moves the magnetos away from the right cylinder head while keeping the drive tucked in close to minimize interference with the blower belt. The first magneto is driven directly from the angled drive. The second magneto is driven by a 1/2" wide 8mm GT® belt. (as described above.)

A rod end and brace are provided to support the end of the drive down to the bolt between the idler bracket and the front motor plate. The drive is easily removed with the angled drive remaining in the block allowing it to be quickly installed on a spare engine that has the angled drive installed and timed.
