L8, wasted spark, crank/cam trigger...etc.
I'm not into the cossie side of it much so bare with me...........
What coil(s) will the wasted spark conversion drive? More specificly would it drive a coil unit like those from a astra coupeT/vxr...1 big coil unit direct mounted above the plugs?
With the wasted setup is the redundant dizzy used as a hall/phase pickup or do you require a pickup mounted into the cam cover and mod'd cam?
Whats the crank pully trigger configuration...teeth wise.

Assuming you are reffering to a wasted spark conversion on a weber marelli ecu,
The crank pulley stays exactly the same, and still uses the phase sensor in it, just not the rotor arm or dizzy cap(most leave on or get a cover).
With this you do not require a cam mounted trigger, but could have it as an alternative if desired.
I can't see any reason why the conversion would not power the plug on coils you mention, but not 100% sure, so I would check with stu etc, but assume you will need a ignition driver for each coil.
