John Olive Ignition system

OK I give up
I have searched and can't find a source on line for the John Olive ignition system  ::)
It looks like a good system
Will it work with the Brown 1.5 OHM Dyna coil  :D

You can email John - you may want to wait until I receive mine and install it just to share my findings.  His card below.

I couldn't find anything either - no website.   I guess it will work with a 1.5 ohm coil because if it doesn't he won't be selling many as what else is the target application but an airhead with electronic ignition.

To which I will add that whilst I will not be a customer for his ignition system /i have bought other items from John, he is very pleasant to deal with and a quick poster.

In corresponding with John, this produce is made by same company that makes them sold by others in US - believe factory is Emerald Island in Taiwan.  John's is Gen3 with Hall Sensor on back of can which makes complete sense to me - whether he engineered this, I do not know - should have it installed by this weekend and will report my findings.

The Emerald Island site is here :

And I did not see this exact product on the list, although they have a bean can and ICU system on display.
