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.

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)

j9fd3s

cool, im prolly still too lazy to do it

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...

j9fd3s

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.

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

Racer X

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.

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

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:
