    Hi,
    My answer would be no. That engine has both pistons "rise" in the cylinders at the same time in opposite directions and both plugs fire every revolution even though power is made every other revolution. This gives a counter-balance effect during operation. If is old and has points, then you may be able to substitute a solid-state igntion.
    Peace,
    Clarke
