This is a nice design. Multiple spark, capacitive discharge.
With only minor substitutions all the parts are availible from digikey.
It does not conceal inside the distributor like a Pertronix
but that's no big deal

Article quote:
"But some readers were not about to be
put off. They wanted a CDI design and they
wanted it for a number of reasons... And they
wanted them for older cars which don't have lean
mixtures and which can be particularly hard, if not
impossible, to start when the ignition system gets
wet. Old Mini Coopers and 850s are legendary in
this regard."
