What sort of car are you talking about that still has a dizzy?

most do. Or many do. No contacts but still one 25kv coil feeding one of
four (6 or 8) plugs..via a rotating rotor arm. there may also be a
sensor there to monitor crank position. But thats more generally on the
camshaft

Are you sure you are in 2011 and not in some time warp 20 years in the

I'd love to know which manufacturers are stil sticking to a
distributor rather than coil on plug/double ended coils and a crank /
cam trigger.

Indeed.

And those who yearn after distributors have a very short memory.
