Looking for information on the Nissan twin spark Distributor

I am looking for any information on the wiring for using a Nissan twin spark distributor on a Bosch front plate setup. I have one of the distributors, the gears to reverse the rotation, and the front plate set up. It’s about time to get the thing together. Does anyone have a wiring diagram? Can I make it work with 6 volt?

There is this thread, noting two x 12v coils. What is the concern about 6v vs. 12v?

Yes and yes. I'll try to draw one up this afternoon.

Charlie Yap had an article on the Nissan distributors in one of the Secrets of Speed Mags several years ago. You might contact him and get a copy of that edition. Not sure if the electronic module in those will operate correctly on 6 volts though! Quite possibly that might be an issue to be aware of.

Sorry, I was thinking points. With a Hal sensor, I would use 12 volts.
