I agree Red.
There are all kinds of options out there already, and ours is a very small market (pre '62 Chevy sixes).
Pick an available ignition and move on to the next item that needs restoration or improvement.
Myself, I have no problem paying good money for a good part that improves the look or performance of my vehicles.
My 55.2 truck with 235 came with an Offenhauser intake and Wayne valve cover. I didn't like the look or engineering of the squared off "log style" intake, I thought curved, smoother flowing, radiused curves to the end cylinders would look and breathe better.
I didn't like the 2 bolt valve cover setup in that it didn't compress the gasket evenly for ultimate sealing and the fact that the valve cover was solidly attached to the rocker shaft. The purpose, I suppose, was to make the valve cover look "old style" but my truck is a 55.2, it came with a 4 bolt setup. The 2 bolt setup merely transmitted all the valvetrain noise through the valve cover, the cover acting like a sounding board, and made my truck sound like a '94 Dodge Cummins.
My solution was, as usual, to spend big bucks for a "good for ME" upgrade. I bought a reproduction Thickstun "Dog Bone" intake,
sized for a 235/261 with 5" high carb pedestals. It is a work of art and worth evey penny, to ME, every time I pop the hood.
To solve my valve cover aggravation I bought a reproduction, fully polished, 4 bolt Thickstun valve cover, finned on top AND sides. When I pop my hood, I smile every time. My valvetrain noise is 25% of what it was before and I can now hear the click of my solid lifters, partially due to the fact that the Thickstun valve cover is a better alloy, twice as thick and twice as heavy as the Wayne.
My point is, there is always a market for more choices for a better product, but the pre '62 Chevy 6 ignition market is already what the market will support, NOTHING new is financially feasible for a vendor.
WHAT DO I WANT?
There are currently ZERO options for an oil pan. I want a heavy gauge, finned aluminum oil pan for a stovebolt.
There are currently 2 options for a stovebolt timing cover, stock, or a Chinese, knock off, chrome one, sold on ebay for $20, or from a vendor for $50.
If you build it, we will come.
