Hi Don,

That's a lovely valley plate alright, but I'm guessing those coil packs fire all 6 plugs at once? I'm looking to run fully sequential sparks  - probably overkill I know, I could run 1/2 as many coils and simply run 2 plugs off each coil; but I'm a masochist and want my 12 COPs.... Also, I still need some way of sensing the cam position, and to my mind the dizzy drive is still the most obvious option, per the new & improved CAD diagram below (which isn't properly scaled or located yet).  Just about the only valid reason I know of to avoid wasted spark ignition, is with crazy overlap cams - it's possible (highly unlikely... but possible) to fire the intake charge while the intake & exhaust valves are still open, but I'm pretty sure even my cam isn't that wild...

PS: I'll call on Friday, work is mental just now...

Get yourself a dissy from and XJRS that had Zytec, It has the 12 choppers but also another ring with just the one tooth. They have dodgy pickups with odd voltages so a dead one might come very cheap and just add a suitable pickup.
Another place for the single pickup is the back of the B cam. I have this on my XJR5 for real early Lucus Micos injection system.
