The design described is simple, cheap, reasonably easy to install, and provides a maintenance free unit which will drive almost all electronic ignition systems which operate with mechanical contacts. The circuit provides an output which, for low currents, simulates the contact breaker and can trigger an electronic ignition unit without modification. The existing centrifugal and vacuum advance mechanisms are retained, and the only mechanical part which must be constructed with any precision is a chopper disc.
