Ok, as long as I'm on a roll here.
Has anyone tried a solid state relay to fire the ignition coil using the
points to trigger the relay? I figure it would eliminate any arcing
whatsoever in the points. Where I work we have ss relays that trigger
with 0-32vdc and with only milliamps as a load. It can switch a 25amp
load. So 12vdc to the + side of the trigger and the - side to the
points. - side of ignition coil to one side of the ss switch and the
other side of the switch grounded.
My only concern is if a solid state relay will collapse the ign. coil
fast enough for the spark.
