2. High energy ignition - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High_energy_ignition

   A wider spacing was also needed between the cap, inserts and the distributor housing to prevent arc-over and leakage to ground. The higher voltage output of the HEI system required new insulation materials. To prevent ignition failure due to carbon tracking, a special material is used for the distributor cap and rotor.

3. Distributor - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Distributor

   Older distributor designs used a cam on the distributor shaft that operates the contact breaker (also called points). Opening the points causes a high induction voltage in the ignition coil. [ 1 ] This design was superseded by an electronically controlled ignition coil with a sensor (usually Hall effect or optical) to control the timing of the ...

4. Chevrolet small-block engine (first- and second-generation)

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chevrolet_small-block...

   The coil-in-cap HEI distributor was retired, and an all-new electronic distributor design was used. The intake manifold to head bolt pattern was redesigned to improve gasket integrity—four of the center intake manifold bolts were drilled at 72° instead of 90° for the cast iron cylinder heads. Changes to the valve covers were also made.

6. Wasted spark system - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wasted_spark_system

   Ignition system of a flat-twin Citroën 2CV. A wasted spark system is a type of ignition system used in some four-stroke cycle internal combustion engines.In a wasted spark system, the spark plugs fire in pairs, with one plug in a cylinder on its compression stroke and the other plug in a cylinder on its exhaust stroke.

7. Radiator (engine cooling) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radiator_(engine_cooling)

   Radiator caps for pressurized automotive cooling systems. Of the two valves, one prevents the creation of a vacuum, the other limits the pressure. It is generally a limitation of most cooling systems that the cooling fluid not be allowed to boil, as the need to handle gas in the flow greatly complicates design.
