Correct me if I'm wrong(being that I am primarily a FFFord guy), behind the cap there is a rotor that uses slots on a gear with an optical sensor to determine when a spark should be administered. This sounds to me to be more similar to a "hall effect" type distributor used in 80s fords and chryslers rather than a traditional "crank trigger." IMHO the rule should be written to include all fuel injected stockers in determining if crank triggers are allowed in stock or not.
