The purpose of the ignition system is to ignite, or fire, the spark plugs in order to generate power to run the engine. To do so, the battery sends current to the ignition coil. Then that high voltage ...

Electronic ignition (EI) systems offer increased reliability and efficiency compared to traditional dual-magneto systems in aircraft piston engines due to fewer moving parts and adaptability to ...

The automotive ignition system is an incredibly amazing machine that has evolved for more than 100 years already and continues to evolve as the demand drives the need to develop more efficient engines ...

Our engine is a 383 that will be installed in a street driven, A-Body, big-block clone. Since we like to look stock and go fast, we had to decide what electronic ignition system would best suit our ...

Unlike older vehicles, which needed ignition tune-ups at least once a year, most vehicles on the road today have electronic ignition systems that are built to go for years without the need for them.

We're always looking for ways to make more power without spending too much money. We bolt on carburetors and intake manifolds. We also perform cam swaps in our quest for power. When that doesn't meet ...

You may have heard about your engine's coil pack but not understood what it does. It's actually a critical component for ...

In this age of electronic fuel injection and ignition it's hard to believe there are still some running around with a points-trigged ignition system. The concept of breaker-points ignition is all ...

There are certain things in life we just take for granted, like the sun coming up in the morning, airlines losing our luggage, and a Corvette that will start when we turn the key. Generally, that's ...

The industry-leading training aircraft, the Cessna Skyhawk, now features a dual electronic ignition system (dual EIS), enhancing maintenance, efficiency and overall operation of the single-engine, ...
