Okay, thanks. I am new to this electronic ignition on bikes. All my other bikes have magnetos. I am guessing the ignitor (Capacitors I am guessing) and coil are separate whereas in a electronic ignition in cars they are one unit called coil pack...which act as capacitor and coils. I read the manual It either went over my head or the Haynes didn't explain it that well.
BTW I spent time researching the correct ignitor to go on my 1982 KZ750H but it probably doesn't make any difference. The firing order on all 4's are the same I am guessing. Correct or am I missing something?

The ignitor is not going to have anything to do with the advance curves since those bikes have mechanical advancers.
This pic is of the 82 GPz750 ignition, if there is any difference in advance it will be in the timing advancer (the round thing at lower left).

The firing order is the same on all four cylinder KZ's (and probably all inline fours that use two dual-coils).
The ignitor is a transistor along with a few other components which does away with the need for a capacitor. It is not a CDI, by the way, it is a transistorized ignition. (CDI is capacitive discharge which is used on some older Kaws, but not on KZ's.)
