[Gmecm] re dual4cyldis modulefor v8 use

[DV Fagan]

Brendan and Peter,
Short of adding a sensor which would electrically
select the coil pack to trigger, the flip-flop needs
to be a tiny microprocessor which takes trigger input
from the ecm and outputs triggers to the coil packs. 
It watches for cranking as indicated by the low input
trigger rate and then tries syncing pack A with the
next trigger and pack B with the following trigger. 
If after two seconds of cranking the engine doesn't
fire as indicated by an increased trigger rate, the
micro changes the pack A and pack B pairing with the
triggers and continues the cycle until the engine
fires.  It then retains the pairing until cranking is
detected again.  This can be built for under $10.
