are ignitors interchangable between the 12a and 13b motors? Also, another dumb question, where are the ignitors located?? and last dumb question, can ignitors be cleaned or serviced so they don't go bad? thansk....cjf

 

cfj,
Igniters are located on the distributor. They are the two black boxes. One is facing toward the radiator and the other faces under the alt. I just went to a pick-n-pull and got 4 of them. My trailing was bad (tach not working) so I need a replacement and figured grab some extras. No way to clean them but are very easy to replace.

Can you use ignitors interchangably between the 12a and 13b engines??? And thanks for telling me where they are mpetersrx7...thxs.....cjf

 

Yup... all electronic ignition FB's use the same ignitors.

 

I think part of cjf's question is still unanswered. What about the 13b engines in FC's?

 

he just said 12a and 13b. not 13b 2nd gen motor. i would assume he means the 1st gen motors.

 

2nd gens use a different ignition system...
