DUH!!! I forgot about that -- the "bumps" that open contact points (or
reluctor pickups). It's one of those things that are "always" there (and
symmetrical) and easily overlooked/taken for granted. I'm sure Matt
would have eventually figured out what I was missing -- he probably took
for granted I was considering that -- it's so obvious... ;> 

We were talking about gutting a V-6 computer controlled dizzy and using
the parts to convert a non-computer in-line six HEI dizzy to computer
control (timing control). That should still work -- just don't use the
V-6 reluctor! The main (only?) thing you're changing is the control
module.

Check out this article on Wiki

You can see how he's charted it there, three of the cylinders would fire
at the correct time, the other three 15 degrees early. It's not the
gearing, it's the shape of the cam (or reluctor if EI). A normal six has
a distributor cam that looks like a normal hexagon, the uneven motor has
one that has three short sides and three long sides. Given Delco
interchangeability, it may be possible to swap in reluctor or cam from
an even firing engine, then the distributor could be used for, I forget,
what were we talking about?
