What should the gap go to on pertronix III coil?
I have the Pertronix III coil and module in my distributor with no issues, but have a question on spark plug gap. What should the gap go to on my 289 plugs.
Why does a forced induction engine have an end gap?
The added air and fuel in forced induction engines acts as additional displacement in the same space as the naturally aspirated variant,” says DiBlasi. “That added cylinder pressure is added heat. Since heat is the driving force behind end gaps]
How is the ignition switch connected to the trunk?
You might consider getting a matched lockset that includes the door and trunk cylinders. The ignition switch itself is connected to the ignition cylinder by a shaft or lever. Inside the ignition switch, several contacts connect vital electrical systems needed to start and run the car.
Why is there a gap at the spark plug?
The effect of secondary circuit resistance (after the coil) is to prevent arcing or firing until the voltage is high enough during the voltage spike to jump the easiest gap. Hopefully, and if everything is working right, that’s the electrode gap at the plug.
How do you close the ignition coil gap?
For proper setting you turn the magnet side of the flywheel away from the coil. loosen the coil, insert the proper gauge. Next turn the magnet towards the coil and press the coil against the curved gauge while tightening the coil screws (carefully so as to not twist off the spade lug that I always forget to remove first).
What makes up the low tension ignition system?
These are all part of the low-tension circuit. The key-operated ignition switch connects and disconnects power to the ignition and electrical system. The high tension side of the ignition system includes the distributor cap and rotor, spark plugs, spark plug wires, and the secondary winding of the coil.
I have the Pertronix III coil and module in my distributor with no issues, but have a question on spark plug gap. What should the gap go to on my 289 plugs.
What happens when the ignition key is in the coil?
There are two leads from the ignition switch to the coil; one for normal running going through the resistor; the other for starting, which bypasses the resistor to provide extra ignition strength. When the ignition key is in the start position, full current is applied to the coil and increases voltage to the spark plugs.
