I have an old impulse coupled mag for an O-360-A1A with 750 hrs on it that I would sell if it helps you in any way.

You should be able to find a Bendix vibrator used. IMHO the shower of
sparks system is more reliable and trouble free than impulse couplings.
Most impulse coupling mags at one time or another have had ADs against
the impulse coupler. You don't need a special ignition switch, like the
certified planes do. You just need to be able to turn the vibrator on to
start, and off after start. I have the same model mags on my 200hp
Mooney. Work great.

RC,
I have a right mag with impulse coupling that I had overhauled (maybe
around 1993 or 4?) with the intention of using it on my RV6 but never
put it on. I did pull the gear off to put on the Jeff Rose electronic
ignition I installed on the airplane.
If interested, you can email me at: deerlake AT bresnan.net

That sounds great! What is a good resource for locating a good used Bendix Vibrator?

Salvage places like Wentworth, or contact some magneto shops and see if
they have some overhauled units. They used to cost around $300 new, now
the price is escalating.
