Chevrolet Nova Distributor
Chevrolet Nova car Distributor has a very crucial function of controlling the ignition process which involves passage of high voltage current emanating from the ignition coil to the spark plugs in the correct firing order. Up to 1983 Chevrolet Nova models came with mechanical distributors that featured breaker points as well as advance mechanisms, they are made from wears. These distributors incorporated a rotating shaft and a cap that accommodated the rotor that guided voltage to every spark plug. Over the recent past, The Chevrolet Nova vehicles changed from mechanical distributors to Hall Effect sensors to minimize problems associated with technological advancement while increasing durability of the vehicles. Such a change made it possible to use a more efficient spark timing and excluded the need for regular alterations. Of the two major types of distributor, the mechanical type of distributor is less common in current automotive designs while the Chevrolet Nova has used both mechanical and electronic distributors demonstrating the technological advance of ignition systems in automobile engineering.
