electronic ignition

[tooze@vinny.cecer.army.mil (Marcus Tooze)]

All this talk of electronic 'trouble free, adjustment free' ignitions has got
me interested.

How does an electronic ignition work?? Does it still rely on the distributor
turning in time with the cam/engine, or is the dist. just left on the engine
to plug the hole?? Obviously it replaces the points somehow, but how????

p.s. do they fit on Midgets??
