About True Tech Ignition
True Tech Ignition is the value-focused ignition and electrical parts line from Standard Motor Products (SMP), one of the most respected names in automotive electrical components with over a century of manufacturing experience. Sold under SMP's Tru-Tech label, True Tech Ignition parts are designed to deliver OE-level fit and function at an accessible price point — making them a popular choice among professional technicians and DIY enthusiasts alike.
True Tech Ignition components are manufactured using vertically integrated processes that maintain quality control from raw materials through final assembly. Every part is engineered to meet or exceed original equipment specifications and undergoes extensive laboratory testing for performance and durability. Whether you're restoring a vintage distributor-based ignition system or replacing a critical electrical relay on a modern vehicle, True Tech Ignition has the components to get the job done right.
A Complete Electrical System Lineup
The ignition system is the heart of engine operation — converting battery voltage into the precise, high-energy spark needed for combustion. When any component in that chain fails, drivers experience hard starting, engine misfires, poor fuel economy, and reduced performance. True Tech Ignition addresses the full spectrum of ignition and electrical system needs, from spark delivery to voltage management and safety switching.
Among the brand's most popular offerings are Starter Relays, which act as the critical switching link between the ignition switch and the starter motor. True Tech also carries Voltage Regulators to keep charging system output stable and protect sensitive vehicle electronics. For vehicles with classic distributor-based ignition systems, the brand's Distributor Caps feature quality construction designed to resist crossfire and voltage leakage — common causes of misfires in older ignition systems. Technicians handling full tune-ups will appreciate the convenience of Distributor Cap and Rotor Kits, which bundle both wear items together for a complete distributor service. Rounding out the electrical lineup, True Tech's Neutral Safety Switches ensure the engine can only be started in park or neutral, a deceptively simple but safety-critical function.
