GM HEI

[Don.F.Broadus at ucm.com]

Odd fire V6 engines had different star and reluctor to fire 90 Deg ,
straight six fire  60 degrees.  Even fire engines
Are a combination of the both.

	No, the star wheel, and reluctor( I think that is the term)
	that drives the ignition module must match the engine type.
	A V-8 has eight points, a 6 only 6 points. I am not sure if
	the V-6 and I-6 would use the same star wheel and reluctor.
