  Makes sense, never thought of it like that.
Old stock car racer friend has a dual point, dual coil distributor.
The points cam has 4 very round lobes, and each coil has it's own set
of points.  They alternate cylinders in the firing order.  Think he
called it a "flame thrower".

One of Murphey's laws of mechanics:  Anything dropped on the floor
will roll the the geometric center of the closest vehicle.
