IGN1A Smart Coil
The IGN1A Smart Coil by AMP EFI requires no CDI Ignition Module to produce 103 mJ per spark, with a longer spark duration (2.9 ms) than what you’d see with a capacitive discharge. Each IGN1A Smart Coil features a 19 amp IGBT ignitor built in and can be driven with a 5 volt logic level output – an MS3X or MS3Pro will run them directly (set spark output to going high), and we recommend a 270 to 330 ohm pullup if you’re building a MegaSquirt 1 or MegaSquirt 2 to drive them and can fully charge with as low as 2.5 ms of dwell. Normally, you’d use them for a distributorless ignition as a coil per plug application, however they can be fired sequentially or every crank revolution (wasted spark coil per plug). If used as a single coil with a distributor, you may need to run a bit less dwell to prevent heat buildup from being an issue. Maximum recommended duty cycle is 40%. Requires HEI-type plug wire ends/ boots. Here is the connector pinout: A – Ignition signal from ECUB – Logic ground, con
