October 30: LEMON manuals on a temporary server, it is slow and having issues, download the manuals you need! Later in November we will switch back to the fast server.

Electronic Ignition: Operation: Distributor

The reluctor rotating with distributor shaft produces a voltage pulse in magnetic pick-up each time a spark plug should be fired. This pulse is transmitted through pick-up coil to power switching transistor in control unit and causes transistor to interrupt current flow through primary circuit. This break in primary circuit induces high voltage in secondary circuit and fires a spark plug.
