    Engine IGNITION COIL

    Update: Tested distributor ignition for operational signal to coil and got nothing so am replacing entire distributor & plug wires. The electronic ignition pickup itself cost just as much as a new distributor w/ new rotor, cap & ignition components. Added plug wires into the mix as all of the...

Is there an...
