VERTEX MAGNETOS VERTEX MAGNETOS
IGNITION AT ITS BEST...DEPENDABLE, TROUBLE-FREE OPERATION
QUICKER STARTING...MORE POWER... A COMPLETE SYSTEM!
Why would a Vertex magneto that was designed over 50 years ago still be so popular?...Because it WORKS! In a time when most everything is a disposable electronic or plastic wonder work, it is reassuring to know that simple reliable designs still exist. The
Vertex Magneto is an integral part of racing and hot rodding history. One of the great legends and as a part of the quality family of Taylor Cable Products, Vertex continues to improve on the quality, power and reliability of the Vertex Magneto. We continue to refine the design and improve
the manufacturing process of one of the industries timeless magnetos. Resulting in a series of magnetos that will fire your engine for years to come. Taylor/Vertex Is committed to quality processes that live up to the legacy of the Vertex magneto. Today’s Vertex magneto features a one-piece aluminum base that adds stability to the magneto and is stronger and lighter weight than the old 2-piece style designs of the past. Our engineers and machinists have been able to hold much closer production tolerances on all the machined parts of the magneto and as a result, you can expect even more consistent performance than ever before. Our evolutionary approach to redefining the classic Vertex has resulted in a dependable series of magnetos that will more than satisfy your ignition requirements, from street rods to blown, injected big blocks. Our Dyno tests have proven that it will produce more than enough ignition energy for today’s competitive power levels on a well tuned engine. Vertex continues to develop power improvements to make you more competitive. We will bring these to you as they are fully tested and as robust as the original
The OAC competition Vertex magneto is just the ticket for High Performance engines, it is very compact and lightweight. It is completely self-
contained and operates at ignition distributor speed (one-half engine speed). Vertex is entirely independent of the battery as it generates its
own high tension alternating current and its sophisticated design incorporates an internal coil. No complicated installation procedures,
simple, quick and easy replacement without any engine modification necessary. Installed in the engine in the same manner as the battery
ignition distributor.
Vertex magnetos eliminate two, three or more components required for ignition. Vertex equipped hand-cranked engines eliminate the
need for a battery, coil, alternator, regulator, starter and associated wiring, for a substantial weight savings. Applications are unlimited.
Vertex can be adapted to most odd or even-fire four cycle 4 and 8 cylinder engines. Uses are varied and even include spark-ignited diesel
engines converted to run on gas or alcohol.
The OXC super competition Vertex magneto, rugged and dependable like its competition predecessor, has been developed to provide
maximum voltage output with a long duration spark; the spark needed to initiate a solid flame front in the combustion chamber. It has been
designed for engines using superchargers, exotic fuels and high cylinder combustion pressures.
The distributor head is made of a superior dielectric material which prevents cross-firing, resists tracking and insures full voltage potential
to the spark plugs.
The modern external coil with space age core is solidly potted and can be mounted in any position. Vertex Magnetos - the most winning ignition system in racing history!
