  2. High energy ignition - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High_energy_ignition

    A predecessor system called "Unitized Ignition" was optional on 1972 and 1973 Pontiacs. [citation needed] Most—but not all—HEI systems have the ignition coil mounted in the distributor cap. A control module and magnetic pickup are mounted in the distributor, in place of a conventional ignition system's breaker points and condenser.

  3. Duraspark - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Duraspark

    The Duraspark II ignition system is a common upgrade [1] for older Ford cars equipped with a points-type ignition. In most cases, the distributor will interchange with the older-style points distributor. The system is similar to some aftermarket systems [2] and the control module may be easily swapped. Duraspark swaps are easy and can be run by ...

  4. Ignition coil - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ignition_coil

    The ignition coils for these can be combined into a single casing (a coil pack) and located away from the spark plugs; however it is increasingly common for coil-on-plug systems to be used, whereby the individual ignition coils are small units attached directly to the top of each spark plug. An advantage of coil-on-plug systems is that in the ...

  5. Spark plug wires - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spark_plug_wires

    Some distributors have an ignition coil built inside them, eliminating the need for a separate coil wire, such as the High Energy Ignition (HEI) system used by General Motors in the 1970s and 1980s. Some engines instead used multiple ignition coils (one for each pair of cylinders) built into a coil pack, eliminating the need for a distributor ...

  6. Capacitor discharge ignition - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capacitor_discharge_ignition

    When the triggering circuit receives the triggering signal, the triggering circuit stops the operation of the charging circuit, allowing the capacitor to discharge its output rapidly to the low inductance ignition coil. In a CD ignition, the ignition coil acts as a pulse transformer rather than an energy storage medium as it does in an ...

  7. Wasted spark system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wasted_spark_system

    Perhaps the most significant advantage of the system, compared to a single coil and distributor systems, is that it eliminates the high-tension distributor. [2] This significantly improves reliability, since many problems with a conventional system are caused by the distributor being affected by dampness from rain or condensation, dirt accumulation, and degradation of insulating materials with ...

  8. Distributor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Distributor

    Since the early 2000s, many cars have used a 'coil-on-plug' direct ignition system, whereby a small ignition coil is located directly above the spark plug for each cylinder. This design means that high-voltage electricity is only present in the small distance between each coil and the spark plug.

  9. Ignition system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ignition_system

    As batteries became more common in cars (due to the increased usage of electric starter motors), magneto systems were replaced by systems using an induction coil.The 1886 Benz Patent-Motorwagen and the 1908 Ford Model T used a trembler coil ignition system, whereby the trembler interrupted the current through the coil and caused a rapid series of sparks during each firing.
