is there a test procedure for check to see if an igniter unit is still good or not? my manual says ther eis, but then its not in the manual. does anybody know how? this is the igniter unit in the distributor NOT the ignition coil, i already know thats good.

 

First step is to get an Ohmeter.

 

well obvisouly. i have that and a whole lot more. with a girlfriend thats an elctrical engineer, and being a geek. i've got that and then some.

 

I was hoping to have my manual here that shows you how to test the igniter. If memory is still on my side, I believe measuring the middle to outside pins should be 50 ohms. I have to double check when I get home though.

 

which manual are you using, i've got a chilton book and the pdf of the factory service manual, and i cant find it in either.

 

You might have to save and enlarge, but I think that is it..

 

thats helpful, but thats for testing the wires, how can i tell if the unit itself is faulty. i assume i can test the resistance on it, but on which terminals and in what range shoudl it be?

 

I apologize for the 3.7Mb picture but I didn't have Photoshop on my computer and I hate resizing using MSPaint. I hope this is what you're looking for.

 

Home skillet, I would die to have a copy of that manual! Would you be so kind as to email it to me? My email is josh@wiredspeed.com. I would be forever grateful! (I have a high speed connection, so it would not be a problem for me to receive it if you have a good means for sending it.)

 

for future reference, if u search google u can find the PDF's EVERYWHERE.

i really cannot believe people still dont have them!
