 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.
