The Ferrari 360 engine has individual coil packs for each cylinder, and no distributor as such.

What appear to be "high tension" leads running to the plugs are in fact multi-wire ('low-tension') harnesses that include a power and ground wire, and a trigger wire from the computer that tells the respective coil pack when to fire its plug.

Thanks Bill, that makes more sense! However, where do all the leads go? I guess to they go to the Computer, I'll have to find out where that is...

This diagram shows the main wiring harnesses in the 360. The computers are indicated by the red dots.

The sub-harnesses that run to the coil-packs are shown in gray, running as stubs out of the main engine harness. Kinda hard to see, but there.

(It's easier to make this out if you save the image to your hard drive and magnify it).

Thank you very much! Where do you get all your info from?

These would be out of scale size, as there are only three small wires, with some small split loom to protect them from the heat.
