Ignition Control Modules

The ignition control module tells your ignition coil when to send a high-voltage pulse to your spark plug, precisely when it’s needed to ignite the air and fuel mixture. Whether you need a stock ignition module to fix your daily driver, a replacement ignition control module for your stock-appearing distributor, or a high performance module for your competition vehicle, the best selection and prices are right here at Summit Racing Equipment.

Also called ignitors or ignition modules, ignition control modules started replacing points ignition mechanisms in the late 1960s. Since they use solid-state electronics instead of mechanical rotors and contact points, they’re more reliable and durable, and allow for a more powerful spark.

GM’s HEI (High Energy Ignition) system is an example of an early success story for ignition modules. The system incorporates the module, coil, and magnetic pickup inside the distributor.

Tired of fiddling with points? Consider converting your mechanical distributor to an electronic one with an ignition control module using one of the kits Summit carries, and you’ll get reliable timing without compromising your old-school look!
