Let's talk. I thought reluctor was the part that fit the distributor shaft 
with the 4 or 6 tips to be picked up by the pick up coils. Are the pick up 
coils not what we want to mount and just stick a couple of magnets 180 
degrees apart on flexplate; or, do we need to do as Bill says and get a four 
cylinder reluctor, grind off every other tip and set the 102 and the 103 
pick ups 180 degrees apart and run them to separate rotor plug pairs?
