junk250 Posted January 25, 2016 Share Posted January 25, 2016 (edited) I have a 79 dl wagon. I'm thinking its the coil ignitor, Ignition module it just quit going down the road, it would start for a minute backfire then die again. Since a replacement for the part is like 300.00. Is there any other external ignitor module that could be rigged to work? I saw a NOS external Hitachi ignitor for a honda for 30.00, any way to upgrade to later parts? Thanks ! The Hitachi ignitor is mounted on top of the coil, it also has an old school ceramic "ballast resistor" mounted with the coil and ignitor. HELP !

TOONGA Posted January 26, 2016 Share Posted January 26, 2016 (edited) A picture of the ignitor would help is it internal in the dizzy like this http://www.ebay.com/itm/Distributor-Ignition-Pickup-Standard-LX-523-fits-77-80-Subaru-DL-1-6L-H4-/121838693303?fits=Make%3ASubaru|Model%3ADL&hash=item1c5e26ebb7:g:Q3MAAOSwbdpWbAjM&vxp=mtr TOONGA Edited January 26, 2016 by TOONGA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djcommie Posted January 28, 2016 Share Posted January 28, 2016 I have collected at least 2 complete distributor+ignitor combos for the electronic ignition EA71s. I have both the Hitachi (external) and NipponDenso (internal) setups if you're interested. I sold my wagon, so I don't need them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
