Dual Pick-Up Models

This system operates identically to single pick-up models with one exception. Signals are sent by different pick-up coils during cranking and normal running conditions.

When cranking, the system operates through the start pick-up circuit of the dual pick-up start-run relay. Once the engine begins to run, the relay switches back to the run pick-up circuit. Only one pick-up coil operates at a time. Distributor pick-up coil connectors can be identified by their terminals. Run pick-up connectors have one male and one female terminal; start pickup connectors have 2 male terminals.
