Electronic ignition, also known as EI, can solve a lot of problems that come with one's ignition system. Not all electronic ignition systems require a distributor, but they do require coils.
Apparently you have NO clue that the truck has electronic ignition! Meaning the truck does NOT have points!It has a rotor button,and ignition module.Points have not been used on the for years and the 86-93 Mazda series are all electronic ignition. I own a 89 b2000 and the point gap is 0.45-0.55 and it DOES have points! I can take a photo for you if you like? So they are NOT all electronic ignition!
Best way is to order the electronic conversion kit from summitracing.com and it has all the directions to it.
all automotive plugs are electronic ignition now,unless you have a 73 or older with points. newer plugs have a wider gap than older plugs.and last longer.
As far as I can tell , yes ( in 1974 , depending on size of engine , there were either points or electronic ignition )
You'd have to describe the components you replaced. Did you use a plug and go all in one distributor or did you replace the coil, distributor, and add an electronic ignition unit? If you "fried" your ignition, it's likely you fried something else along the line too. Check all your components.
Electronic ignition typically doesn't use a rotating cam and ignition points. So there is less mechanical wear involved. The voltage produced at the spark plugs tends to be higher and a little "cleaner," electrically speaking. An ignition advance mechanism would not be heeded if the design of the ignition module or "computer" were sophisticated enough.However, there is one major disadvantage. If there is an EMP (electromagnetic pulse) blast that takes out all sorts of electronic devices, such an ignition system would be destroyed. So after a major nuclear war, cars that use this likely won't run. However, if it has a standard points ignition, it can.
All the engines used in a 1998 Ford Explorer have electronic ignition ( EDIS , Electronic Distributorless Ignition System ) The 4.0 liter EFI , V6 and the 4.0 liter SOHC , V6 use one coil pack for the six sparkplug wires The 5.0 liter , V8 engine uses two coil packs for the eight spark plug wires
Worm gear is broken. Easy fix just replace worm gear .
The cause of the key sticking in the ignition, after the car is turn off. This is caused by the button on the gear shift knob, not coming out all the way or sticking.
There aren't any points in a 86 Honda. By that year they were all using electronic ignition systems.
Ford Festiva is car that is marketed by Ford between 1986 and 2002. The gap should be .040 on all V8 engines and the ignition gap for a 1998 5.2 is .040. There are no points in that vehicle. It has electronic ignition.
