The High-Performance Ignition Systems: Design, Build & Install book was recently revised and updated in January 2014. It was written by Todd Ryden and published by CarTech Books. The CarTech SA79 Ignition Systems High Performance book will surely be a hit for high performance enthusiasts.

This is the guide to understanding automotive igntion systems, from points and condensers of yesteryear, to the computer-controlled distributorless systems of today. Stock and aftermarket.

Todd Ryden has worked for MSD Ignitions for over a decade, and he leads you through ignition system components, systems and sub-systems, with clear explanations on how each part works in relation to the next, to achieve the ultimate goal of efficient combustion.

This do-it-yourself book covers:

  • Coils
  • Wires
  • Spark Plugs
  • Distributors
  • Magnetos
  • Inductive Systems
  • CD Ignitions
  • Multiple-Spark Systems
  • Computer Ignitions Controls
  • Rev Limiters
  • ... and more

How To Build High-Performance Ignition Systems gives you a clear understanding on how to upgrade all types of ignition systems, from points and vacuum advance units to coil-on-plug distributorless systems.
