Msd Ignition Part# 8210 Automatic Coil Selector on 2040-parts.com
Northridge, California, US
I purchased this 8210 coil selector so that I could run two complete ignition systems in case something failed when I was in the middle of nowhere. I used 2 MSD ignition boxes, 2 MSD coils, 2 MSD ignition pickups (in the distributor), this automatic coil selector and a switch to choose either ignition. This worked very well for a few years. I could even switch from one system to the other while the engine was running. It was pretty cool! This type of system is used by every NASCAR team and now you can have complete redundancy too.
I
have continued experimenting with my car and changed it over to a distributorless ignition system and no longer
need this part. I am selling it and all the other components of my dual system. You can download the installation instructions with the wiring diagram from the MSD website.
MSD's Description:
In many forms of circle track racing a dual or redundant ignition system is used. If you use a dual system complete with two coils, the Automatic Coil Selector makes it possible to change coils, without having to pull into the pits and change the coil wire. The Automatic Coil Selector features three posts; one for each coil and the other to go to the distributor cap. This way, when a driver switches ignitions, the Coil Selector automatically switches to the backup coil. To use the Coil Selector, two ignitions, two coils and a single-pole, double-throw switch are required. In many forms of circle track racing a dual or redundant ignition system is used.

Gibbs Sports Amphibians launches the Quadski
Tue, 16 Oct 2012Gibbs Sports Amphibians has unveiled the Quadski, an amphibious all-terrain vehicle that, according to company founder Alan Gibbs, obliterates the distinction between land and water transportation. The 1,300-pound, 10.5-foot-long Quadski looks a bit like a jet-powered personal watercraft sitting on top of a single-seat ATV, but it's what's underneath the vehicle's molded composite body that separates the high-speed Quadski from larger, slower amphibious predecessors. The Quadski draws power from a BMW K 1300 Motorrad motorcycle engine capable of producing 175 hp.
