The early Chrysler electronic distributor parts is what I used for years. The amplifiers are $20.00 each. You need two ceramic resistors ($6.00 each). two pick up coils from a distributor ($4.00 each)

 

And a single reluctor mounted on the front pulley. A pick up coil mounted on each side of the engine, 180 degrees apart. Each pickup coil runs one double ended coil firing both plugs in one chamber. Timing accuracy is astounding.

That is funny Lynn!,

I did exactly the same thing to build a early ('74) electronic ignition for some kawasaki race bikes! I bought the ignition modules from JC Whitney! They were the exact same parts used  on my 1972 Dodge Dart! The two parts together were identical. Ground all the reluctor projections off except 1 and used 2 units to fire 4 small auto coils. Two coils fired together. The ignition ran two coils perfectly, an incredibly robust unit. I put 20,000 miles on one bike with it, it was my daily driver and ran great. If I remember right 2 units + the reluctor and 2 pick up coils ran less than $30.00! I could hardly believe how cheap they were. Never missed once. Sold the bike with them The new owner loved it. Paul these might still be available.
