Abstract
The invention includes an ignition control assembly including a first ignition control module adapted to be connected to the distributor and to control electrical operation of the distributor, and a redundant ignition control module including circuit means adapted to be connected to the distributor to control electrical operation of the distributor. The control modules are mounted in a location remote from the distributor. The mounting includes a heat sink for maintaining the control modules at relatively low temperatures. A switch and circuitry are also provided for alternatively providing an electrical connection between the first control module and the distributor and between the redundant control module and the distributor.
