FAQ
What is the function of the distributor in the ignition system?
- The distributor in the ignition system, such as the one in our JEGS 40066 for 460 Ford, plays a crucial role. It distributes high-voltage electrical pulses to the spark plugs, ensuring proper ignition timing and combustion for optimal engine performance.
How do I know if my car distributor is bad?
- Signs of a bad distributor, like the 460 Ford distributor in our JEGS 40066, include engine misfires, stalling, poor acceleration, and difficulty starting. Diagnostic tools and visual inspection can help identify distributor issues for prompt resolution.
Specifications:
Can it be used as a stock replacement distributor?
Does this come with a melonized iron gear? and if not what gear is provided with it?
Very interested in this distributor but will it work with my older Digital 6 ignition box? The cost being so low, does it need extra stuff to make it work? Thank you
