 Electronic
ignition has long been recognized as a means of increasing a car's
efficiency. It does this simply by burning the fuel very much
more effectively than is possible with any traditional contact
breaker "points" system.
Install
an Electronic Ignition kit and you'll never have to replace or
service the points ignition again.
Save money
with reduced ongoing costs for parts and servicing, as well as
from improved fuel economy.
Enjoy better performance
and reliability from your car, plus improved starting in cold
conditions.
HOW
IT WORKS
THE OPTICAL SWITCH
(MOUNTED IN THE DISTRIBUTOR)
 An
infra red light beam is detected by a silicon phototransistor.
This beam is interrupted by a revolving chopper fixed to the distributor
cam and has one blade for each cylinder. It is unaffected by light,
dirt and dampness. The optical switch is fixed to the same plate
as the points were, so that speed and vacuum advance remain unchanged.
THE POWER MODULE
This receives the electronic pulses from the
optical switch and using an internal high power Darlington transistor
charges the coil. The exact positioning of the chopper determines
spark timing. Dwell time is determined either by the width of
the chopper or internally to give variable dwell performance.
THE FITTING KIT

|
In order to mount the optical switch in exactly
the right position in the distributor, specifically engineered
mounting plates and brackets have been developed to ensure perfect
installations and in the vast majority of cases, without any permanent
modifications.
Installation is possible without any special
tools.
