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.

Will an electronic ignition from a Datsun 280z fit a Datsun 240z?

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.


What iselectronic ignition and how does it work?

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.
