This revised and updated edition of How to Build High-Performance Ignition Systems is the complete guide to understanding automotive ignition systems, from old-school points and condensers to modern computer-controlled distributorless systems, from bone-stock to totally aftermarket. Author Todd Ryden leads you through the various components, systems, and subsystems, explaining the theory behind how the parts work with each other to achieve the ultimate goal of efficient combustion.

This book will help you understand how your car?s ignition works, and it will help you choose the right components for your car?s performance needs, whether it?s a 19955 Chevy with a 265-ci small block or a 2007 Civic Si with 2.0-liter VTEC K20Z3 engine.
