Profile Ignition Pick-Up (PIP)
The PIP informs the ECA of crankshaft position and speed. PIP assembly is integral with distributor on all models. PIP has an armature with 4 windows and 4 metal tabs that rotate past a stator assembly (Hall effect switch). Ignition distributor does not have any mechanical or vacuum advance.
