Corvette Ignition Coils - No Fire In The Hole

The bottom line for C1/C2/early C3 ignition coil troubleshootingThe ignition coil in C1, C2, and early C3 Corvettes is truly an amazing little device. An ignition coil is a type of pulse transformer that multiplies the low voltage received from the battery or alternator to many thousands of volts when the breaker points open and close. The coil contains a primary winding, a slot iron core, and a secondary winding. The high-voltage output of the coil is directed to the appropriate spark plug by the distributor. Hence, without this high voltage, there is no spark and, consequently, internal combustion can't take place within the engine.
