John,
No I have not seen this setup. It does sound interesting. I guess I had sort of dismissed optical sensing when the use of hall effect triggering was introduced. I worked a bit on hall effect in the computer business and am still intriqued by how small the components can be made and how very reliable they are.
But optical works well in automotive applications doesn't it. And I guess that any electronic setup is a few hundred times better than contacts. I think I may have mentioned that I have installed a bunch of Pertonix units in Model A Fords and early Ford V8s.
Any one who has had to struggle with the old beehive distributor on an early V8 just has to love electronic never change points ignition.
