Electronic Spark Control System: Description: Notes

The Electronic Spark Control (ESC) system is governed by a Spark Control Computer, 7 engine sensors, a specially-calibrated carburetor and, on most models, a dual pick-up distributor. V8 models with electronic fuel injection (318" EFI) have a single pick-up distributor. The ESC system is designed to burn a lean air/fuel mixture, with a minimum of emissions. See Figure
