Both the FSM and Haynes have a lovely little test setup you can make to test them.

Just to add in here, to make this more durable/reliable, eaither get the connectors without any insulation, or remove it from the ones you have and solder them on, and the heat shrink as much as you can.

You'll all thank me in the end for it.

Jeff & Bflywl, Send me a SASE and I will share my junks. In fact, this past weekend, I got tired of pulling dizzy and pocketing the igniters. Jeff, you got to move to SOCAL. We're surrounded with junkyards. There are at least a dozen within LA Counnty.

My stepfathers '79 needs ignitiors ('82 engine & dizzy), so I'm going to do a quick HEI swap on it while I'm in town for Christmas. I made a diagram of what I plan to do based on this thread--can anyone confirm it's correct? There seems to be a bit of confusion about which way the G/W trminals hook up. Thanks!

I can't remember. It's one way or the other. I had to look up some old pictures when I hooked up my friend's rotary baja.

Why stop at an ignitor upgrade? Why not do DLIDFIS?
