If my acme 2 litre had a distributor in it originally, than no COP, or coil pack??
But, I can remove the AFM and replace it with a MAF??!?!

Oops, I should pay closer attention to which forum I'm in.
Greg, I can't find that FT reference (although I do remember it). Seems like it was STx specific. Is there reason to think that it also applies to IT? I hope not, because if it does I think I just found some HP.

I went ahead and submitted a letter on this topic - it's a two parter.

Let me also provide some clarification of my interpretation. 1.) The true definition of a crank trigger ignition is one without a distributor and the sensor at the crank triggers electronics to fire spark plugs. 2.) The other ignition system uses the stock distributor in its stock location and uses a crank sensor/pick-up to replace the sensor inside the distributor to provide the needed signal for the ignition to work. In short you have not changed the stock ignition components only re-located a sensor. Another way of looking at this is to take the stock pick-up inside the distributor and move it to the cam/crank. The components are the same, the functioning is the same, only the configuration of the sensor has changed which the rules already allow. You are commended for your advanced thinking and creativity.

That's an old letter; notice 2011 date.
Ignition are now "unrestricted" in Super Touring. See GCR 9.1.4.G.7, p468 in September 2012 PDF.
