Looking in the type 2 Bentley manual there is mention of a 
transistorized ign system used in 79 and later CA busses. These used 
a Hall effect sensor and a special coil. It looks interesting, but it 
probably requires a different dist shaft which wouldn't fit in a type 
3 dist, and the type 4 dist is probably too tall for our engine 
compartments.
