Multiple coils

I see a grey area in the rules on this....unless it is a factory "distributorless" ignition. Ray, was it?

Under SS rules it says: "any battery powered ignition permitted. Distributorless ignition must retain OEM number of coils"

Under SS/GT (and above) it reads: "any battery powered ignition permitted"

So if it was a GT or Modified, I would say no problem to anything but a magneto and as many coils as you like. Ray, I think I would pursue it since you have a Modified SS.

Under SS, could you have multiple coils only if the engine came equipped with a distributorless ignition as per OEM? Or could you convert from a distributor based ignition to a distributorless ignition and then would you only have allowance for (1) coil if that's the way it came?
