Default Cosworth with coil on plugs

I remember seem somewhere picture where cosworth yb engine had coil on plugs, but I can't seem to find it anywhere? I'm interested what coils were used and what modifications had to be done to the cam cover.

Autronic fitted cars have one coil per cylinder but not as yet coil on plug.
MADYum will probably be the first MAD customer to have his cam cover modded to take this, Mark is getting his Mill set up at the mo to do this in-house. When fitted no leads will be seen & coil wires will exit at the back of the head.

Would be interesting to hear what coils you are all using? The VAG coils seem cheap, but I would neet to buy them and try how easy they fit.

So is that firing two at once? , how does it work, are 1 and 4 connected in parallel etc and can the amps cope with it? i guess the smaller looking coil on plugs are half the power of eecIV ones then?
