trailing ignitor
Will a bad trailng ignitor make the engine miss at high rpms (i mean 5000 and above)? I mean miss real bad. Also it misses at when it has very little load on the engine. I runs fine though when i just accelerate normaly just as long as I keep a some load on the engine and under 5 grand. Anybody have any ideas? I did pull out the trailing plugs and they were real black. The leading ones looked fine.

If it was idling fine, and had power, and then just suddenly lost all its power and wouldn't idle very well on top of that, you are most almost assuredly looking at a trailing ignitor failure.
How's that for a run-on sentence??

Pull one of your plug wires put a spare plug in it and turn the car over. no spark and you know for sure.
Make sure you ground the plug. and dont touch the plug unless you like shocking experences.

I could sell you one. It will be friday before I could pull one. But I could mail it on saturday. $25 plus shipping or $30 shipped. It was pulled from a running Car.
There is a guy in the for sale section that always has parts also. He is out your way. I think the name was Wam.
did you make sure it is not the Coil? Swap the connectors from the Leading to the trailing Ignator and see if the problem changes sides.

I have found two of them for 50 bucks. I dont know when he will send them though. I should be working by next weekend. For now I can put on my 48IDA that I have bought and try to rig it up.

why dont you sell him a set then? He posted a add in the sale section and I am the only one who replyed. I am not trying to be an *** I just think they are worth $25. I even pulled them off my spare working Dizzy to help out a forum member.

Before you buy anything make sure that your battery terminals are tight and that you have no loose ground wires. Loose cables on your battery will cause your trailing/tach to stop working.
