He'd still have to "splice them in"

The trigger wheel would still only have 6 triggers.

The other option would be to cut two of the cylinders off with a torch and make a V6...

Remember, even with a conventional distributor on a V8, the points have to be activated 8 times each time the distributor shaft makes a full revolution.

Same thing with electronic ignition.
