Yes, still one coil per cylinder though.

I've run my car on these coils using a PIC based circuit to
distribute the ignition signal to the individual coils.

Driving them is easy - raise the trigger signal over 2.7V then
when you are ready to fire, ground the signal.   You have to
be careful when you 'arm' them since they will fire after
1/10 second if you leave the trigger signal high that long.
