Ignitor location

Does anyone have a picture or a diagram of the location ignitors on the distributer for a 1984 GSL? I have searched the forum for over an hour and I have not found a picture that is helpful.

Thanks for your help,

Rotor Nut

On a 12A the igniters are mounted to the distributor, one at approx 9:30 with the other at approx 1:00. When you take the cap, rotor & steel cover off each igniter gas a red & green wire.

Don't need pics. There are 2 small black boxes on the outside of the dizzy housing, below the cap. Each one has a 2 wire clip plugged into the top of them. One faces forward, the other points to the alt.

Yeah. I think he said that he has an '80. For the '80, you have a similar thing, but they are mounted on the fender. They are a different part number (J-105 for you, J-109 for 81-85 cars), but look similar. The '79 had points instead, so there was no ignitors.

Thread jackers! Originally we were talking about an '84 GSL. That's why I put up that picture.
