Coils and drivers/igniters?

I'm currently dreaming about swapping a 1.6 Miata engine and trans into an MGB with Megasquirt ECU. Does anyone know if the Maxima COPs have built in drivers?

ABS and TCC do not make for a safer car. It is a band aid for bad drivers. Learn the limits of your brakes, and how to not lock them up. And run appropriate tires for your weather and region.

I would just get the valve cover set with grommets and sparkplug tube seals, the plenum gasket, and a throttle body gasket. It's easier to unbolt the TB than disconnect everything.
