4.0 out of 5 stars
Well worth the money,

This review is from: Dodge Ram 50, D50, and Arrow, 1979-93 (Chilton's Total Car Care Repair Manual) (Paperback)
Just two observations, specifically in section 2 Engine Electrical.
1. There are 3 types of distributors in use within the year range this manual covers; the signal rotor with a reluctor gap used with a stator (sometimes called pickup coil) and signal rotor with reluctor gap and ignitor. These two are covered. There is a 3rd consisting of a signal rotor which is a disc with four openings (one for each cylinder) and a different type of "ignitor". These signal rotor discs are sometimes called shutter wheels. The ignitor contains a light emitting diode and a photo-electric cell opposite each other. Each time a slot passes under the diode the light strikes the photocell and the ignitor interrupts primary winding current causing an ignition event. Conversely, when the slot passes and the light is blocked, energizing current is restored to the primary windings. There is no mention of this variation. 2. There is no mention of the simplest (and maybe the most common) fix for "no spark" condition. The fuse group attached directly to the battery "hot" terminal has 3 fuses. The middle one will cause no spark if it blows. This is a good manual; I've bought a lot of Chiltons manuals over the years. These comments are not a criticism; just an observation. Technical manuals are very difficult to develope. Worth the money.
