I have a Bendix Scintilla SF4LN Magneto and I am looking for a source of overhaul kits. I need new gaskets and I really need the part #11-1100 magneto timing wheel.

I need to set the distributor gear at 8 degrees so that I can adjust the cam and set the points for internal timing and I don't have a way to do it without the timing wheel.

I can't seem to find one of these wheels. The school that I attend actually has the Bendix permanent magnet recharger (36VDC) for my magnetos as well as the bendix condenser tester that is called out in the service manual. I have recharged my permanent magnet and my condenser is good. My secondary coil has a resistance of about 6500 ohms which is well within the limits of 5000-8000 ohms.

If anybody has a lead on one of these timing wheels I would appreciate it.

Clyde Smith says that there is a guy in California who rewinds the coils for these magnetos but he didn't know his name. If anybody has the name and contact info of the gentleman who rewinds the coils for these magnetos I would appreciate that as well. Thanks.
