You got my answer on that one already, Gar. IF it works the way I
described it, it does not need to know how many cyls  there are, and
from what I have heard, you can use the unit on a one lunger with the
same results as on an eight. Use 4 on your 4 cyl for DIS.
Again, I may be wrong, but I'm batting 100 so far :}
