If your ignitor is going out it can be quite pricey. There is an alternate swap for cheap though. The stock ignitor with the coil bracket runs around $130-$160. Or you can just get a 4-wire HEI Ignition Control Module from Autozone for $24. Just ask for one off of a 1980 Chevy Chevette. Make sure it comes with some heatsink grease.

Materials

1 x 4-wire HEI module w/heatsink grease
1 x Piece of Aluminumn to mount module to.
2 x bolts/screws to attach module to bracket
at least 4 wires
Spade connectors

Process:

Unhook Battery, Using the Aluminumn make a bracket and drill holes if needed to match the holes in the module. Slather the grease on the back of the module and using screws/bolts attach to bracket. Now ground bracket to the frame of the car so you have a good ground.This is what the bracket with the module should look like (will post pics of my setup soon).




Next follow this diagram to wire in the connections to the module.




After that reconnect battery and turn key for better spark for a cheaper price. Plus the fact that its a stocked item and you don't have to specially order it.

 

And your Z runs with this setup?

 

very well now that i have figured out my issues, stupid vaccuum leaks at the egr block off plate.

 

should make this a sticky in the how to section.

 

Yes... we should. I was waiting for you to say "it runs".
