FlyScooby Posted November 8, 2003 Share Posted November 8, 2003 It looks like a cylinder condenser attached to the bracket of the ignition coil. Any ideas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam N.D.J. Posted November 8, 2003 Share Posted November 8, 2003 I had to get one from a wrecking yard as I couldn't find anywhere to get one new, except the dealership. The dealership had it, but you had to buy a whole coil assembly to the tune of like a couple hundred clams. Way outa my price range. However I got one from the wrecking yard by buying a "coil bracket" for 5 bucks, they didn't even ask about the little electrical connection on it.

FlyScooby Posted November 8, 2003 Author Share Posted November 8, 2003 Adam: I'm not sure if what I speak of is a ignition amp. Could it be a noise suppression filter? It seems as though that this only came with the nippy disty and not the Hitachi. I have a nippy that has been rebushed. Stacy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
subarubrat Posted November 8, 2003 Share Posted November 8, 2003 If it has two different pigtails coming out of it and it is a large transistor mounted on a aluminum heatsink then it is the ignition amplifier. If it is a small round canister about a third the size of a AA battery with one wire coming out of each end then it is a capacitor (condesor) to take AC noise from the alternator out of the DC system (as well as some ignition noise). So your radio doesn't have a whine in it. If you are getting whine on your radio then get any decent ignition/alternator filter kit, I know radio shack has them and sometimes I have seen them in Autozone. If you are getting no noise then don't bother. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
