Racing Ignition Systems & Parts
What are the signs of a bad distributor cap?
The most common signs of a bad distributor cap include:
- Trouble starting the car, especially in rainy, cold, or foggy weather.
- Shaking or vibrations in the car while running.
- Frequent stalling.
- Squealing noises coming from the engine.
What does a crank trigger do?
A crank trigger gets the timing of the engine directly from the crankshaft instead of going through the distributor. A crank trigger provides the most accurate way to spark the ignition system in your race car for peak performance at high RPMs.
What is a wiring harness for a race car?
A wiring harness organizes and connects the wires, terminals, and cables used to carry power through the electrical system of a race car. With wires and cables neatly threaded together in a single unit, a wiring harness makes it easy to connect larger components of the ignition system.
