Since the mid 1990s, the ignition module circuitry has been integrated into the PCM\/ECM rather than having a separate module.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The ignition module basically does what the points in the distributor once did: it switches the coil primary to trigger the coil&rsquo;s high voltage spark. The ignition module first appeared on domestic vehicles in 1972 on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/chrysler\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"Chryslers\">Chryslers<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/dodge\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"Dodges\">Dodges<\/a>. The Dodge\/Chrysler module was remotely mounted, meaning, it wasn&rsquo;t in the distributor. GM followed with HEI ignition, which has a module in the distributor, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/ford\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"Ford\">Ford<\/a> with a remotely mounted Duraspark module a couple of years later.<\/p>\n\n\n<style>.kadence-column_4d2f64-0e >
