I guess its possible you have the 1980 ignition system,which has electronic pickups,but retains the trailing spark cutoff needed for the reactor.
Im all kinds of confused now. Will a regular 13B header bolt up to it? Or are there different flanges for the different series?

Also I was given an Allison (now crane) XR-700 points to optical ignition that is brand new. Anyone know how this would be hooked up or if it is worth the time? The instruction page I found doesnt have a thing for rotaries, but would you set it up the same as a 4 cylinder?

All 13B exhaust manifolds have the same bolt pattern, except the RX8. As far as converting to an electronic dizzy, any 80-85 dizzy will work. There is a link to a write up on the conversion in either the FAQs or archives. I know of no aftermarket dizzy that is compatable with our odd ignition firing order.
