DELCO-REMY Transistorized: Description

This ignition system consists of a specially designed distributor, control unit, and a special coil. Other units in system are conventional design. In the distributor, a rotating pole piece, which replaces the conventional breaker cam, rotates inside a magnetic pickup assembly, which replaces the conventional breaker plate, contact point set, and condenser assembly. To provide vacuum and centrifugal advance, the magnetic pickup assembly is rotated by a vacuum control unit, while the timer core is made to rotate about the distributor shaft by conventional advance weights.
