  1. 2. The number of degrees the breaker cam rotates from the time the breaker points close until they open again (AKA cam angle)
  2. 3. A type of electronic ignition system that used a silicon controlled rectifier for switching (use the abbreviation.)
  3. 6. A hard metal with a high melting temperature.
  4. 8. The length of the spark plug threads.
  5. 9. A type of ignition system that produces electrical current without an outside primary source of electricity.
  6. 11. An ignition system that uses a mechanical switching device (breaker points) to control primary current to the coil. (use the abbreviation)
  7. 12. A mechanical system used in MBI systems to cause the spark to occur earlier in the operating cycle uring intermediate and high speed operation.
  8. 13. The conductor that carries the high voltage current to the spark gap.
  9. 14. A non conductor of electricity. Material in which the majority of atoms contain bound electrons.
  10. 17. mechanical switching device used to control the primary current to the coil in MBI systems
  11. 18. a type of storage battery that must have electrolyte installed after purchase.
  12. 19. A device inserted into the combustion chamber of an engine that ignites the compressed fuel/air mixture.

  1. 1. A typer of storage battery supplied with the electrolyte already in it.
  2. 4. A device used instead of breaker points to control the primary current of the coil.
  3. 5. The tendency of current to travel down the outside of a spark plug instead of through the center electrode.
  4. 7. A device for temporarily collecting and storing a surge of electrical current for later discharge.
  5. 10. An alloy of aluminum, nickel, and cobalt used to make flywheel magnets
  6. 12. A device consisting of primary and secondary wire windings. As current passes through the primary windings it builds an electric field. When current stops, the magnetic field collapses and induces high voltage current in the secondary windings.
  7. 15. A type of electronic ignition that uses a transistor as the switching device (use the abbreviation)
  8. 16. An indicator of a plugs ability to transfer heat from the firing end to the cylinder head.
