Reid - There’s nothing complicated about a setup like that. All it does is bypass the magneto’s internal spark-generating coil. Instead it uses battery current and the mag breaker points/condenser to fire a regular (battery type) ignition coil. The coil then sends high voltage back to the distributor end of the mag for distribution out to the plugs. Bottom line is the magneto performs exactly as a battery ignition distributor unit (and is wired up the same).

It’s done on account of cost. It’s generally cheaper to buy/install a battery coil than to replace a failed mag coil or balky impulse drive.
