What does it do ? it replaces or becomes part of the mechanic style distributor to send signal to the ecu, and trigger ignition system. Kind of a adaptor for mechanical distributors and ignitions. New model fully electronic distributors and ignition are now standard on cars and are fully electronic. for ecu management of ignition. And are a off the self item.
[30:05] (Interviewer) Ok, the distributor, is that going to be the same distributor? Or do you have a modified version? Or is there anything additional to it? [30:11] Yes, we do modify the distributor as is shown over here
Figure 20. - Modifications to insert Meyer's Laser Distributor between the distributor cap and distributor assembly
[30:17] We simply take of the conventional rotor cap off a conventional engine, and we put the laser distributor in between the distributor assembly and the cap and this (referring to the laser distributor) now sends signals to the computer system which will really be a composite of several integrated circuit chips that miniaturizes the hydrogen computer system.
Old systems Used to use a vacumm line to advance timing as car rmp increase to tune the timing . The new version use electronics to read the rmp of crank case and adjust electronically the firing in tune with the injectors. Stan made his own? this is now a off the shelf item. in fact they have insane high voltage and excellent management systems and coils off the shelf now.Even for the smallest motors very affordable.

ProFire™: Nology's new line of high performance ignition coils features the most impressive performance data. The application of all new technology makes these coils second to none. ProFire ignition coils are on the cutting edge of technology. In order to supply the energy needed for trouble free high performance and high rpm operation, they were especially designed to have the quickest rise time with substantial energy reserves. The available spark voltage is in excess of 45,000 volts over the entire rpm range, and spark energy is equally impressive. Despite their size, the energy storage capability and power reserves ofProFire are extra high. ProFire will deliver just the kind of spark you need for maximum performance. When the best is just good enough, use ProFire.

STOP... playing around with spark plugs that feature Iridium
electrodes, Platinum electrodes, Copper electrodes, fine wire electrodes, split electrodes, ring electrodes or multiple electrodes and get serious with silver electrodes! Silver is the best electrical and thermal conductor of any metal. This makes Nology Silver™ the best spark plugs in the world. Period! ● Silver Center Electrode ● More Spark Power ● Deliver the Most Powerful Spark ● Increased Horsepower ● Cleaner Combustion ● Long Lasting ● Race Proven Design ● Top Quality Materials
Identify your Spark Plug What about Iridium Spark Plugs? Iridium is a super dense material and therefore extremely resistant to wear. That's it! It is a terrible thermal conductor and a bad electrical conductor, so why would anyone use it to make a spark plug center electrode? Since car manufacturers have to guaranty that their engines stay in-tune for up to 100,000 miles, they can only achieve this with ultra dense Iridium or Platinum.
Nology Silver spark plugs are especially designed for high-performance engines. Silver is the best electrical and thermal conductor of any metal, which makes it the ultimate material for a spark plug's center electrode. The large diameter silver center electrode increases spark carrying ability and spark power. Silver is extremely resistant to erosion, guaranteeing a virtually unchanged electrode gap for the life of the spark plug. Most Nology Silver spark plugs are without a resistor, perfect for performance enthusiasts who demand the most from their engines. For racing or dependability and efficiency for everyday use, Nology Silver spark plugs deliver the most powerful spark. Properties of Materials Material

========================================================= Controlling the timing is very import when switchin to hydrgoen this means you should have a ecu which can controll the ignition timing via pc. Look closly at lpg and cng unit and manufacturers as this is a off the shelf item, and if multistaging ecu for 2-3 injectors banks your golden. h2, air, exhaust Stan In several Photos Stans has Bosch distributor boxes laying around.
So I have included this to as Wear to buy if just want to convert or having hall sensor in your existing distributor. as stan did. http://www.hot-spark.com/
Electronic Ignition Conversion Kit Replace Points and Condenser with Zero-Maintenance Electronic Ignition
Set It and Forget It - Never Adjust Points or Timing Again! The Hot-Spark electronic ignition conversion kit replaces breaker points and condenser in the distributor to provide rock-solid reliability. With the Hot-Spark electronic ignition, dwell and timing are always spot-on accurate. No matter how strong your engine is, you won't get the most out of it without a good spark. The stock, breaker points-based ignition system uses technology that dates back a century - to the Kettering system, which was introduced in the 1910 Cadillac. Even though you can adjust breaker points for near-electronic ignition performance, they will burn and wear within a few thousand miles, long before the recommended replacement interval. With points, the timing will drift; power and fuel economy will suffer. The Hot-Spark electronic ignition conversion kit delivers a strong spark every time and is maintenance-free. You'll notice quicker starts, more top end power and a little gas mileage boost. It's as easy to install as points and condenser!
Advantages of the Hot-Spark electronic ignition conversion kit: ● Replaces points and condenser with solid-state electronics ● Set it and forget it - Never adjust points and timing again! ● Zero maintenance ● Delivers far more voltage to the spark plugs than contact breaker points ● Reliable Hall-effect technology

Never gets out of adjustment Rock-steady reliability Dwell and timing are always spot-on accurate Increased gas mileage, fuel economy Quick starting Smooth idling Cleaner emissions Longer spark plug life Longer engine life Cleaner engine oil due to less unburned fuel Longer interval between oil changes Easy to install - If you can install points, you can install the Hot-Spark electronic ignition conversion No points to wear, burn, pit or corrode No condenser needed Absolutely no points float - zero - even at redline RPM and beyond! Never worry about drifting dwell or timing again No rubbing parts - nothing to wear out! Fits completely under the distributor cap Stealth modification - maintains stock appearance Includes everything you need - no external ignition box required. Works with stock distributor and coil Encased in high-temp thermoplastic - protected from the elements and oil, grease, dirt, water, etc. Never bother with points or condenser again! The best investment you'll ever make for your vehicle Saves precious ($$$) fuel 4-cylinder distributors require a coil with 3 Ohms or more internal, primary resistance or HS34HEC high-energy coil. 6- and 8-cylinder distributors require a coil with 1.5 or more Ohms primary resistance or HS17HEC high energy coil.
