An improved ignition coil and distributor system is
used with G430 engines (figure 6-14). The 80 mm
(3.15 in.) distributor and high efficiency ignition coil are
smaller in size and lighter in weight. Reliability was
increased while maintaining the high energy
performance and functions of a larger component. The
inherent reliability of the new distributor is enhanced
through simplicity of design by eliminating all moving
parts (except distributor shaft and rotor. It provides
multifunction components wherever possible and uses
weatherproof connectors at the electrical interfaces.
The high energy ignition coil is more compact, lighter
in weight, and is designed for remote mount-ing. The
size and weight reduction was possible by using new
lamination material that allowed a substantial
reduction in the cross-sectional area without
compromising performance.
