Are the igniters interchangeable?
If I go to the junkyard tomorrow, can I get either the leading or the trailing ignitor to replace the suspected bad leading igniter?
Or do I have to get the "right" one? (And yes, Pull-A-Part is open on the Fourth, before anybody asks.) |
Yep.
In fact,a quick roadside fix if your leading ignitor fails,is to swap the trailing ignitor into its place.The engine will run fine with the trailing system off,but not the leading...... |
Good point. Just so you know, the 81-85's had a J-109 ignitor, while the 80's had a J-108. An 81 will not fit an 80, and vice versa. 79 of course still had a points system, so no ignitors.

I am thinking about just using a TII leading coilpack, an FB coil, my MSD box, and ditching the ignitor.
But now I have some sort of partial throttle problem (vac leak?) so I might not even get the engine hot enough to test if another ignitor fixes my missing problem. |
