    Were any of the Daytonas produced without Dinoplex units?

    I believe Euro Daytonas had coils and not dinoplexes.

    Ed - thanks - I recently saw an "A" car without the Dinoplex. Was not sure whether they were simply missing, or never part of the car.

    They all have coils. The Dinoplex is an early version of a high energy electronic ignition. This was used on USA cars as a form of emissions control. Euro cars didn't use them, but instead had true dual point distributor and standard ignition.
