What is an Intake Manifold?
An intake manifold is a component that delivers air or an air/fuel mixture from the carburetor or throttle body to the intake ports on the engine.
An intake manifold is a component that delivers air or an air/fuel mixture from the carburetor or throttle body to the intake ports on the engine.
The throttle body is the intake system component that allows you to control the flow of air by pressing on your accelerator pedal.
Air filters are designed to remove particulate matter from air that enters an engine’s intake system or the cabin of a vehicle.
An intake system is made up of all the component parts that help meter, filter, and deliver air to an internal combustion engine.
An ignition module is a solid state component in breakerless ignition systems that activates the ignition coil.
Spark plug wires are insulated high tension leads that connect each spark plug to the distributor cap (or directly to coil packs.)
A distributor rotor is the moving component inside a distributor cap that provides a connection between the ignition coil and the spark plugs.
Distributor caps perform two important functions, as they provide both a protective cover for the distributor (and internal components like the rotor and, in some cases, points), and also help route spark to the spark plugs.
Distributors perform two vital functions in spark ignition systems: routing high voltage pulses and activating those pulses at just the right time.
In battery-and-coil ignition systems, the coil is the component that generates high enough pulses of voltage to jump the spark plug gaps and ignite the air/fuel mixture.
