Such a shame we don't have a line on anyone who worked in the ignition design on these cars, just some engineering notes or an interview or two would have gone a long way to answer these questions. And in agreement with George I'm sure a part of it is "this was the thing that stopped random hot start\stall\misfire issues so we shipped it as-is."

LOL... you have all obviously worked in corporate R&D orgs. "Ship-it" was a standing joke everywhere I worked whenever a program or engineering manager forced acceptance of known deficiencies and/or issues.

That document does not feel like an engineering doc. What is it?
"The purpose of these various pick-up windings is to
hold in the suppression of the radio interference generated by the HEI system."
Huh?
