Re: Switchable ignition how does this work?

my guess.. is that it switches it to another circuit within the coil that has more windings to begin with, or some such.. would seem stupid if you ask me.. just go about and buy one that has the same power output as that does all the time and forget about one with a switch that could break.. just my opinion ion it anyhow.

Re: Switchable ignition how does this work?

Windings create resistance. resistance causees voltage to increase.
but also increases dwell time.

You'll probably really confused unless you read up a little on how electricity works.

Ok, but how does this incresed voltage help the cars performance?
