Ignition System: Description and Operation


Ignition System Features

The Distributor Ignition (DI) system features a camshaft-driven distributor without centrifugal or vacuum advance. The distributor has a die-cast base with a Hall effect stator assembly.

Initial timing adjustments are only required when the distributor has been moved from its factory setting or removed from the engine.

NOTE: When replacing any component, use only the proper service replacement part. Do not change the octane rods without proper authorization; state or federal emission requirements will be affected.
