  • Distributor for internal combustion engine
    Patent number: 4852541
    Abstract: A distributor for an internal combustion engine includes an ignition timing reluctor provided on a centrifugal spark advance member, ignition timing signal generating means for generating an ignition timing signal by detecting approach and passage of the ignition timing reluctor, a cylinder discriminating reluctor provided on the centrifugal spark advance member, and a cylinder discriminating sensor for generating a cylinder discriminating signal by detecting approach and passage of the cylinder discriminating reluctor. The distributor has a structure for compensating for any imbalance of its rotator. The cylinder discriminating signal is centrifugally advanced in the same way as the ignition timing signal, so that it is possible to reduce the width of the cylinder discriminating signal.
