Ignition Timing Control: Description

Used on Federal 808 (1300cc) and GLC 1300cc manual transmission equipped models, this system advances or retards ignition timing to reduce oxides of nitrogen (NOx) emissions. The GLC and 808 (1300cc) system consists of top gear detecting switch, accelerator switch and transistorized ignition system. The 808 (1600cc) system consists of speed switch and dual point distributor. The distributor has one set of contact points for normal operation and one set for timing retard operation.
