Shelf Find Motoplats

I acquired two Motoplat ignitions yesterday from Charles Curnutts home shop. These are brand new (NOS) and never been mounted and they fit the early 70's Husky's. He wasn't sure what years but he did know they were Husky as they were given to him by Husky. I do know they are earlier than 1976 as that was the last year Charlie Jr was racing. No coils but that is not a big deal as I have a box of them. One has a diode the other doesn't. I don't know what I am going to do with them yet, since I don't own a Husky of those years....but.....it's kinda cool getting them.

nice, they should work great

Looks like it was for 1975 and lower 400 5 speed

That would make sense.

I think actually it might have been part of a desert racing kit because as I remember the 76 and earlier WRs still had Femsa point ignition and those stators look to be setup for big lighting.

I found out from Chuck Curnutts youngest son that these were back up ignitions to be used on the Husky's when they raced the Mint 400 back in the early 70's. They required big lighting.
