How to Make Your Car Last Forever: Avoid Expensive Repairs, Improve Fuel Economy, Understand Your Warranty, Save Money

The positive major move in electronic ignition systems was eliminating the ignition points and condenser. In
place of the mechanical ignition points to trigger the spark to the sparkplug was a magnetic pickup and

ignition points, which wore out every 10,000 miles. It was better but not the ultimate. The ultimate is
automatically adjusting, long-lasting ignition systems.
