i wanted to use this to upgrade the spark on my leading coils but the web site i am going to order it from says not to use it with a distributorless system, so i wanted to know if anyone is using one and to tell me which type they are using the odd firing one meant for V6 only or the one that is compatible with 4, 6 and 8 cylinder cars.
