BOSCH Electronic Ignition System: Description

The Bosch electronic ignition system consists of a control module, a breakerless distributor, a single or dual resistor (some models may use a resistor wire, Mercedes-Benz models do not use any resistors), a high output ignition coil, an ignition switch and battery. Standard centrifugal and vacuum advance/retard mechanisms are used. See Figure and Figure.

NOTE: Volvo MPG models are equipped with the Computer Controlled Electronic Ignition System. See appropriate article in this section.
