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.

yep i agree on that one iv just done this as a tempory to get the car goin still deciding what to do as i have not seen any facts to how the gm igniters effect compared to origanl j-109s

i may try the dflis with the gms since i have spare one i thought dont go but maybe it does and i have two spare coils

but whatever i did i couldnt get my car to stop stumbling its not bad just noticable ild say its fluxing 100-300revs

dont ask why but i see that i havnt got the vaccum tubes up for the dizzy could this affect my idel

and also can i just t both to one souce on the carb spacer i think its the 3rd nipple in from the radiator side

im gonna try the nova igniters on directfire
ill leave the j109 on trailing for the tach

the 1st pic below is how it will be and mounts to the strut horizontal

how can i mount the 3rd coil the the strut?

the 2nd pic is the diagram i am following

and what exsactly is the igniton swith the diagram is refering to

Call for this to be stickied, nice job.

BS. If you have lots of igniters, then why not.

Then why not send some to me instead.

 

or me thats why im doing this
i got 4j109s but 1s gutted 1 gives no spark one gives resistance both ways and one works lol

 

ok just to let ya know how it went
the car run but very rough and any accelleraton was very difficalt and when reves got up a lil it back fired flames lol but theres no loss
now iv got all the wires cut to length
the j109 dilfids should be very easey
just need some cash

ohh and what a shame i think i blew one of my new accel coils gotta fine me reciet and get another

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.

 

This really NEEDs to be added to the thread. Switch around the G and W around like jeff20b said: https://www.rx7club.com/1st-generation-specific-1979-1985-18/i-did-gm-igniter-mod-need-help-asap-654018/

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?

 

exactly. thats what I have been telling everyone but I guess they are satisfied with a FC leading coil.
