By the way, there is a very good book explaining all types of ignition:
The Doctor's Step-By Step Guide to Optimizing Your Ignition
by Christopher A. Jacobs
http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0965085600/qid=981385546/sr=1-19/ref=sc_b_19/107-5976533-9799729
It is largely an advertisement for Jacobs electronic ignition but it has pretty
thorough coverage of other types of electronic ignition. It even has a nice
method for getting your car's horsepower curve with only a stopwatch. It was
written quite a while ago so it looks like he has come out with a new book that
covers his new products.
Performance Ignition Systems : Electronic or Breaker-Point Ignition System
Tuning for Maximum Performance, Power and Economy
by Christopher Jacobs, Christopher A. Jacob
http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/1557883068/qid=981385546/sr=1-9/ref=sc_b_9/107-5976533-9799729
I used to like Jacobs electronic ignitions but I have seen tests that make me
think that his stuff is no better or worse than any other quality manufacturers
ignition. (and his stuff is a bit more expensive)
But his book was very good. A little light reading for the winter?
