An ignition system is a system for igniting a fuel-air mixture. It is best known in the field of internal combustion engines but also has other applications, e.g. in oil-fired and gas-fired boilers. The earliest internal combustion engines used a flame, or a heated tube, for ignition but these were quickly replaced by systems using an electric spark.

Are you asking about the difference between EI and a points and condenser type system?
a primary advantage of the electronic ignition system over conventional ignition system is?
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.
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
250 rpm
Yes But the 1975 Ford F150 electronic ignition system is unreliable the newer F150 is more reliable and works longer than the 1975 version.
No , it's EDIS ( Electronic Distributorless Ignition System )
In 74 Chevy went to the HEI system. Prior to that just points.
electronic ignition
Yes, an electronic ignition from a Datsun 280Z can fit a Datsun 240Z, but modifications may be necessary. The 240Z originally used a points-based ignition system, while the 280Z features an electronic ignition system. To install the 280Z ignition, you may need to adapt wiring and possibly use different components to ensure compatibility. It's advisable to consult specific installation guides or forums for detailed instructions.
Electronic ignition is a system used in internal combustion engines that replaces traditional mechanical ignition systems. It uses electronic components to control the timing and duration of the spark that ignites the air-fuel mixture in the engine's cylinders. This system typically includes sensors to monitor engine conditions, a control unit to process the data, and ignition coils to produce the spark. By providing more precise control over ignition timing, electronic ignition enhances engine efficiency, performance, and emissions control.
I believe it has ( 2 ) because the ignition system is EDIS ( Electronic Distributorless Ignition System ) on the 2002 Mercury Mountaineer V8
As far as I can tell , yes ( in 1974 , depending on size of engine , there were either points or electronic ignition )
