DURA-Spark III Ignition System: Distributor

The EEC distributor eliminates conventional mechanical and vacuum advance mechanisms. All timing is controlled by the ECA, which is capable of firing the spark plug at any point within a 50° range depending on calibration. This increased spark capability requires greater separation of adjacent distributor cap electrodes to prevent cross-fire.
