However, not many drag racers are aware that both ETs and consistency can be influenced by choosing an aftermarket ignition coil with the right electrical characteristics to complement your ...

Another benefit of a crank-triggered ignition is the opportunity to move to a distributorless system such as the OE-style coil-per-cylinder design used for years now on production vehicles.

to provide properly timed pulses of 12-volt electricity to the ignition coil. In the coil, essentially a transformer, it's stepped up to 10,000 to 20,000 volts. Then, the high-voltage electricity ...

While magnetos are still used on small engines like lawnmowers and even aircraft, they eventually gave way to ignition coils as cars got batteries and generators. The coil is essentially a type of ...

F. R. HAIGH has recently compared the relative advantages of magneto and coil ignition used for generating the explosions which occur in motor-car engines (Students' Quart. J. Inst. Elec.

Mid-century cars tended to rely on points ignition with a distributor and coil, however more modern designs place a coil on top of each individual spark plug. [Roger Moore] decided to build a ...
