Your ignition system is critical to a smooth running engine (or your engine not running at all!), and while virtually maintenance free, there are important things to remember when choosing an ...

But when the rotation of the distributor opens the points, it breaks the flow of electrons in the primary windings. The magnetic field in the core then collapses back into electrical form through ...

Increasing the voltage in the ignition system is the function of the coil. A type of transformer, the coil has two separate circuits: the primary, which is connected to the battery, and the ...
