Ignition System - 4-CYL: Description
The Delco-Remy High Energy Ignition system consists of a battery, ignition switch, ignition coil, spark plugs, primary and secondary wiring, and a special distributor assembly.
The distributor housing and cap contain vacuum and centrifugal advance mechanisms, an electronic control module, pick-up coil, pole piece (with internal teeth), timer core (with external teeth), rotor, distributor shaft and a capacitor for radio noise suppression. Some distributor models also include an integral ignition coil.
Full battery voltage is present at the battery terminal of the distributor in either the "START" or "RUN" position, as no ballast resistance wire is used.
