Spark Timing Control System: Description

Spark timing control system is used on all models with 2.0L engines. This system aids in reduction of exhaust emissions by delaying spark port vacuum to distributor vacuum advance unit during acceleration. System is operated by a spark delay valve, which is located in line between carburetor and distributor (Federal) or between water thermo valve and distributor (Calif.).
