Do a search on dlidfis and that should give you an Idea on how the ignitors work

Yeah, I think the 79 coils were different from the S2 and S3 coils. PM Anex570 as he just did this swap on his (I actually sent him the dizzy to do it )

Also get plugs that go with the 81-85. They give a better spark than the 3 prong 79 plugs.
