No it doesn't. A magnetic pick-up or a position sensor tells the electronics when to produce the spark.

What Year did GM stop using a Points Distributor?

General Motors stopped using points distributors in 1974 when they began transitioning to electronic ignition systems. This shift aimed to improve reliability and efficiency in their vehicles' ignition systems. By the late 1970s, most GM vehicles had fully adopted electronic ignition technology, phasing out the traditional points system.


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.


How do you upgrade ignition system with points and condenser in 1974 Chevrolet with a 350 to electronic ignition system?

Chevrolet 350s are REAL easy to upgrade to electronic ignition because there are so many of them, there's a vast number of aftermarket parts available. The easiest way is to buy an MSD Ready to Run distributor, install it and be happy. You can plug an MSD 6A box into it, but you don't have to.


What are the advantages of an electronic ignition circuit?

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.


The function of the condenser in a breaker points ignition system is to?

The function of the condenser in a breaker points ignition system is to keep the points from sticking together. If the points stick together during ignition it could cause the points to burn up. The condenser sends a signal to the points and then takes the signal away to make the points separate.


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
