skishop69 Posted February 28, 2007 Share Posted February 28, 2007 I didn't see any previuos posts on this. I did a lot of research today, and NAPA carries an ignitor (part # T190) that will replace the old ones. It's actually for 81-85 Nissan, but it's the same thing. The coil holder is a little larger so you have to get a different screw to clamp the coil tight. Plugs in and bolts up the same. Now the shocker... My price was $114 which means retail is about $150! Ouch I haven't crossed it to a Schmucks numer yet, but it should be a little cheaper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edrach Posted February 28, 2007 Share Posted February 28, 2007 Last time I bought a new ignitor for my '84 Brat (Hitachi, not ND) it was around $100 from B&B Auto Parts in Redmond. Don't ask me for the part number, sorry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skip Posted February 28, 2007 Share Posted February 28, 2007 Corn-fusion here there is a major difference between an ignitor and an ignition amplifier People continue to use the term ignitor when they mean ignition amplifier. an ignitor is located in the distributor and sends it's signal TO (operative word here) the ignition system. an ignition amplifier (basicly a power transitor) is located on the coil bracket below the coil and RECEIVES a signal from the ECU, amplifies it and sends the amplified signal to the coil. The distributors with the CAS (Crank Angle Sensor) internals have no ignitor , these include the 87+ hot wire MAF MPFI units and SPFI systems. The other Subes that do not have points and condensor have an ignitor. End of rant and end of saying this over and over and over and over.
