QUOTE(TimT @ Dec 5 2003, 04:01 PM) The magnetic or optical trigger just supply the signal for the cd box to fire the coil. The trigger does nothing to improve spark. I understand about the wear factor involved in points and they can bounce at high RMPs, so magnetic or optical signals are preferable......but....how does the CD improve the spark quality, does it just give an amplified pulse to the coil? Also how does it preserve the points ( I.E. no pitting ) when the signal travels from the points to the CD -seems like the CD is down-stream so has no input on the points....unless the CD draws less current leading to less burning of the points mating surfaces? -J |
