or get a muiltiemeter and set it to 2k resistance and check those ignitors if you get a reading of 1000 or less ohms there ok but if its more than 1000 there stuffed i spouse if its like 5-60 over im sure be fine i tested myn and there a wopping 1800
thats just what my haynes manual says im currently workin on some diff sorta igniter setup from a nova

ops sorry they wont be stuffed it just says time for a new one
so im gusseing they work but not good enough mine worked but hay this the only thing i can think why im not startin
