NOPE !    A.R.D. ENGINEERING made belt drive magnetos. They used to be located in SANTA FE SPRINGS.

I don't have a motorcycle, sold it ('85 Yamaha Venture Royale).  Haven't had a CB750 for over 40 years.

I dont think Ken has any contact info for ARD.  He has a few of their mags, but those were not directly from ARD.  What is it that you are looking for?

I just wanted to pickup some extra parts. My A.R.D. mag is the CDI unit. It is basically brand new, only 2,000 miles of
use on it. I located another unit but it is missing the rotor, cap, coil, and lower pulley. I'm wanting to build a super-
charged cb750 with a big block and a magneto. I might just try to find an old RC engineering angle drive for a joe hunt
magneto like that is used in vw drag motors.

This guy has everything you need.  The lower pulley is just half the size of the upper pulley for a 2:1 ratio.  Get a new one cut to fit the shaft.  I dont have mine in front of me, but Browning still makes that gearbelt pulley.  Then it just needs to be bored to fit the lower shaft.
