A battery in a traditional car cannot directly create engine spark. It’s only rated at 12 volts, after all, so it needs a little help boosting the signal to the spark plugs. To make that happen, a car ...

I have a 1954 Ford with a 272 Y-block. Before I got it the previous owner had added triple carbs, dual pipes, and a PerTronix point replacement kit. The coil was a standard 12V replacement and there ...

An ignition coil is a vital component of a vehicle's ignition system. It is responsible for converting the low voltage from the battery into the high voltage needed to produce sparks at the spark ...

We may receive a commission on purchases made from links. Is your car misfiring, having trouble starting, or idling rough? Are you wondering if the problem is one of your coil packs? If you're like ...

Just like spark plugs, ignition coils can wear down and become faulty over time. There are many common signs that an ignition coil is getting bad, but one obvious sign is an engine misfire, typically ...

Ignition coils play a crucial role in a vehicle's ignition system as essential components that facilitate the engine's combustion process. They are responsible for converting the low voltage supplied ...

Ignition coils play a crucial role in a vehicle’s ignition system. They serve to convert the battery’s low voltage into the high voltage necessary to fire the spark plugs. If there’s any malfunction ...

Every gasoline engine is basically a series of controlled explosions, and the coil pack is the component that lights the fuse. Your car's battery puts out a measly 12 volts, which is great for your ...

The spark plug was a key invention in the history of the internal combustion engine, allowing combustion to be easily controlled and engines to rev faster than messy earlier designs. Mid-century cars ...

This ignition coil driver is a HOT one! From my recollection, it delivers a nastier spark than the legendary Ford Model T ignition coil. The circuit uses an inverted 555 oscillator that is coupled to ...
