Then go the same route as Rod and use individual remote coils.

I can see NO drawback in that solution and is what i will be doing myself.

Its not quite the same as that actually brommy bear, cause in that setup the spark doesnt also happen on the stroke where its supposed to, which must surely make a big difference in the level of oxygen and fuel present, ie its not just from a little bit sneaking in where the valve is open its from the entire previous inlet stroke minus the previous exhaust stroke, so you basically have approx the unswept volume of perfectly matched fuel/air charge just waiting to go.


My belief is THAT is the key thing, i reckon that the cars in question misfired on the previous stroke, if you can stop that happening then i dont think its a risk.
Still worth running individuals rather than packs though just for piece of mind IMHO
