Hi, it's me again, with a crazy idea.



j9fd3s and RacerX have been talking about the use of two ignitors and two coils

to directly fire the leading spark plugs.



I, a broke M.F., can't locally find a MAZDA ignitor and coil in good used condition.

Plus after reading Jeff20b's Ignition upgrade, I realized that making a plate to install

the ignitors on properly would take more time and effort than I want to put out.



For the past week, I have kept my eyes open for a easier solution. I found that

GM HEI ignition modules (a fancy way to say ignitors) would function properly, and

be easier to use because of their configuration.

Also, they are @ $20US brand new at a parts store that delivers to my work. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...#>/biggrin.png

as you can see, they have a flat backside and spade connectors.

you can wire it up like this:

(I "Borrowed" Jeff20b's diagram and "re-worked" it)

cool, im prolly still too lazy to do it

lol

just when i had convinced my friend to give me his dizzy. hmm, so that would also work, eh. any more specific details on them gm ignitors, ie: year, car, model, etc...

gm stuff is hard cause they are all basically the same from 78-98 but they gotta have 2-3 different numbers, so you have to keep giving them applications until you find one that they stock.

Thats what I want to know,Car,year and model.

Here is where I found the picture:

the part # is also a "Standard Ignition" part# (DR= Delco Remy)

the vehicle I used to find this is a 1976 chevrolet Impala 350 4bbl

Those look like standard ignitors for 5.7L carbed applications.I looked thru several makes of GM and the 5.7L engines all use that type of ignitor.I know what I might upgrade too. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...#>/biggrin.png

Yup, you got it! Plus if you look here:

http://www.partsamerica.com/PartDetails.as...=0&SpecialType=

You will see a 42000-45000V ignition coil that should blast through just about anything.

It is also a H.E.I (High Energy Ignition) coil, so it should mate with the module well.

It's also under $25US new. :smirk:
