Jackson Jerd Distributors ?

[Jon Haigwood]

Gathering parts for my Kookie T and it had a Jackson Jerd Distributor. I am not familiar with these and my question is do they use a separate coil for each side ?

Will this help? (found on the HAMB)

Did anyone else have one of those cool glow in the dark sculls from Disney Land he used for the gear shift?

Yes both the pictures and link will help. 

Originally Norm had a Tiki Women Head shift knob. It was later changed to a skull.

There is also a skull mounted on the rear springs. They are not glow in the dark but I found some (2) skulls on this Hot wheel

Now i need to find 2 black pre wired  distributors with red wires so I can scratch build one

Looks like there are 5 wires each side, one each for the 4 cylinders on each side of the V8 and 1 coil wire.

I had the same idea a few years ago and did quite a bit of research on it. My post requesting info is probably still on the server.

AFX is correct, but I could never get confirmation that the caps were for separate sides but I believe it to be true.

This is the best pic I found that I could remotely trace the wires.

Looking close at a bunch of pictures It looks like 2 wires go to the side they are mounted on and 2 cross over to the other side. And the same for the other side. I just can't figure out where they mounted the coils. 

Edit: actually it looks like the coil wires run under and behind the firewall

I looked and looked, I'm with you, those coils are probably hidden out of sight.

From these two pics you should be able to deduce the plug wiring and firing order.

For reference of anyone looking for one, that HW casting is called "Rigor Motor" The skulls were shot in several different colors of plastic depending on the version and it seems at some point they were deleted entirely from the car. Probably too easy to remove and swallow for a kid chewing on them.
