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.

What would cause an electronic ignition ignitor to blow out?
A fire in the jet pipe would. the blow out circuit is used to blow out a jet pipe fire during ignition. this circuit stops the starter motor thus cancelling the ignition and fuel flow.
What is the primary advantage of the electronic ignition system over conventional ignition system is what?
The primary and basic advantage of electronic ignition system is that it reduces mechanical advantages and have more accuracy in delivering high voltage surges to the spark plug at higher RPM it has a fast switching device
What is the cause of on and off electricity in the distributor?
In a Pre-Electronic Ignition distributor, the "Points" are opened and closed by a rotating cam. This acts as a switch turning 12v on/off to the High Voltage Coil at the proper time. In an electronic ignition, a solid state circuit (transistors) performs the switching duty, replacing the Points/Cam as a timing circuit.
Does a 1988 Chevrolet G20 Van have points or an electronic ignition?

What is electronic ignition used for?
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.

Does electronic ignition utilize an ignition coil?
No, electronic ignition uses a sensor in the engine shaft that determines the pulses. This omits the distributor in exchange for electrical control.
