With an electronic ignition, a more powerful coil can be accommodated. The greater the spark occurring at the spark plugs, the greater is the spark occurring across the points. causing them to pit more. Hotter coils have always worked, but manufactures stayed away from them because point life was lessened.
Since electronic ignition has no points to pit, hotter coils can be easily used. |
