    I'd not say so.  The coil and points deliver a series
    off discrete impulses.  The distributor routes each
    to the correct plug.  The distributor never switches
    hv.

    Which pulses on and off.  In sync with the point cam below
    and the plugs.  cf as above.

     One at a time.  HV is at 'zero' as the rotor
     makes and breaks each plug circuit.

     I'd not say so.
