Hi all I have an SA with an Upgraded FB electric ignition, now I had no problems until last week I lost power to the coil so I just replaced the Igniter, but when doing do I did not tightened the screws holding it in place, my question is as follows...

After the change of the igniter I am not getting any spark at all, Does it make a matter if the igniter fully touches the distributer housing?

or might it be something else, as I am getting power to the coils and to the Dist but there is no interrupting signal after the Igniter..

 

it is possible that you replaced it with another "BLOWN" igniter

 

the ignitor needs to be screwed down as that is how it is grounded

 

I think that you are right, I did a few searches on how to test the ignitors and according to the diagram they need to be grounded from the back... I feel like such a shmuck..

but then again live and learn

thanks for the help
