BOSCH Hall Effect Electronic Ignition System: Description

The Bosch Hall Effect electronic ignition system consists of a breakerless Hall Effect distributor, an ignition control unit, ignition coil, ignition switch, and battery.

Closely allied with the ignition system is an idle stabilizer, a solid state control unit located between the ignition control unit and the distributor. It replaces the distributor in sending signals to the ignition control unit when engine speeds fall below 940 RPM.

The Hall Effect distributor has normal centrifugal and vacuum advance mechanisms. See Figure and Figure.
