|
|
|
What is the purpose of the ignition coil |
It’s a device that steps up the voltage to create the spark for each cylinder |

What position are the breakers points in order for the the ignition switch to be on |
The closed position |
|
|
|
What’s the purpose of a distributer |
It directs high voltage current produced by the ignition coil to the spark plugs |
