I'm running the Compufire Distributorless system:

Works really good! To be honest, I don't understand how it knows when to fire
the appropriate coil because there's a magnet at each point on the "rotor" disc
it uses for triggering inside the dizzy. If someone was to make a quick glance
it would *appear* that both coil packs fire for every cylinder firing.
There is a notch or bump or some indicator on the disc that is supposed to
point to the #1 firing position, just like one would do when installing a
normal rotor and setting timing on #1 in the dizzy. Maybe there's only two
magnets, 180* separated, and the other two pieces of metal are just dummy,
balancing spots of metal. À?
