Yup.
But keep in mind that by today's standards there's nothing "high energy" about it. That term was coined back when points were pretty standard, and the advent of electronic energy aloowed (among otherthings) full voltage for the coil, and higher out put. So back in the late '70's it was "High energy" Ignition -compared to what came before it.
