High Energy Ignition Systems

The High Energy Ignition System (figure 6-1) has
undergone many improvements since its introduc-tion.
The system is an electronic system that requires no
scheduled maintenance, provides up to 35,000 volts
to fire the spark plugs and increases spark plug life.
The system has 40% more voltage output and 85%
higher energy level than the conventional breaker
point system to fire lean fuel mixtures even under the
most adverse conditions.
Two different distributors are used in the High Energy
Ignition system. The 'HEI' Distributor has an integrally
mounted coil in the cap while the 'EST'
Distributor is generally smaller and uses a sepa-rately
mounted coil. The EST distributor is installed in G430
Engine.
