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.

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