    Ignition module

    Ignition box questions

    The Elextron products were an alternately named line from Standard Motor Products. Standard introduced the line in 1977 using the name to highlight the, then relatively new, electronic ignition components. The name faded away in the 1990s. Standard has, or had, other sub-brand names for...

    Lip/ridge on 904 driveshaft yoke
