Rovella Starr chronicles the life of Rovella Jackson. The main character marries into a loveless marriage at the young age of fourteen-years old. From the very beginning this union is deceptive and Regina has no intentions of preserving her sacred marriage vows. Soon, this loveless union begins to crumble; but deception remains the main ingredient in Rovella's life.

Des Hammill provides expert practical advice on how to build an ignition system that delivers maximum power reliably. This book tells you how to build an excellent system, in a cost effective way, and how to optimise the ignition timing of any high-performance engine. A useful hands-on guide for the home mechanic.

Our all-new Automotive Engine Performance and Diagnosis Video Series offers viewers an extraordinarily complete introduction to must-know topics, including: ignition, fuel, emissions, and computerized-engine controls. Conveniently organized into four sets of four tapes each, all VHS videos in this series use a powerful combination of live action, computer animations, and precision graphics to explain key engine performance concepts and outline step-by-step diagnosis and repair procedures. The first set of four videos familiarizes viewers with the major functions of the ignition system, showcasing distributor-based and distributorless ignition systems. Procedures for diagnosing no-start, driveability and emissions problems, and performing appropriate ignition system tests are also outlined in detail. The second set of four tapes examines procedures for testing, diagnosing, and repairing fuel/air induction systems, while the third set shifts attention to emissions and related systems. The final set of four tapes on computerized engine controls features two videos devoted exclusively to OBD II. Similarities and differences between today's major manufacturer's systems (e.g., FORD, GM, Chrysler, Toyota, Honda, and Volkswagen) are also discussed alongside useful service tips for fast and effective troubleshooting and repair.

The volume includes selected and reviewed papers from the 3rd Conference on Ignition Systems for Gasoline Engines in Berlin in November 2016. Experts from industry and universities discuss in their papers the challenges to ignition systems in providing reliable, precise ignition in the light of a wide spread in mixture quality, high exhaust gas recirculation rates and high cylinder pressures. Classic spark plug ignition as well as alternative ignition systems are assessed, the ignition system being one of the key technologies to further optimizing the gasoline engine.

Daniel Stapleton covers all aspects of modifying the classic MG Midget and Austin Healey Sprite for high performance, covering engine/driveline, ignition systems, distributors, suspension and brakes.
