It is mounted on top of the starter and is pressed every time the engine is cranked. It proved to be more trouble than it was worth and most were removed when they failed. The only reason I run one is for originality's sake. | | | | | Joined: Jan 2010 Posts: 210 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Jan 2010 Posts: 210 | I may not even have one!!!! Scary to think that I don't know! I'm rewiring my truck this weekend and I wasn't sure if it was needed. I'm using a Pertronix Ignitor and Coil. Thanks for the tip.
