So I haven't had spark for quite awhile now and I have been slowly narrowing the problem down and I think we have traced in back to the ignition module (I have electronic ignition - CA version I believe). The cheapest replacement I can find goes for $260. I see the Gen 2 ignition module going for about $90. I can't see how they could be that different, but I can't find specs on either to compare voltage, ohms, etc.
Does anyone know if I can swap these? Will I need to swap out the distributor?
The pickup even looks the same for the Gen 2 model.

Here's what she looks like from the outside.

After you type in the boxed area scroll down below the "submit reply" and there a section that under attach files. From there you should be able to put up pics.
The only thing I see about attachments is in the bottom left and it says "You may not post attachments."
Apparently I can't post attachments.

How do I post pictures?? Do I need a an account for an image hosting website?
The interior is pretty much trashed. I tore out the carpet last year because it was moldy. The seats are pretty tore up, (esp the driver's). The dash is toast. The door panels are mis-matched. Pretty much need a matching set of everything. Here is what is good inside: glove box, 1 brown and 1 black window crank, 2 brown armrests, 1 blue door panel, and that's about it. I'll post some pictures as soon as I figure it out.

At work now, but I will try and get back to you later today. Gotta assess what I need and don't need.
At this point the interior is a mixture of colors, but I believe the dash is brown - although it needs to be replaced. Pretty much I'm open to any color as long as the stuff is in good shape.
Hope to get back to you soon.

'78 Brat here
I need lots:
Ignition Module (really could use this, no spark)
Pretty much everything in the interior
Rear bumper
Gas cap
Fuel door (specifically the latch mechanism)
I'd have to look at it and write some more stuff down but that's a start.

Swapping Gen 1 Brat Ignition Module with Gen 2

It looks like my distributor has already been changed to the electronic type. There are no points and condenser, just a rotor and pickup.
Basically, I have no spark. I have replaced the pickup in the distributor, all new plugs, and replaced the coil. We are getting no spark from the coil to the distributor. We have power coming from the ignition, but no power going to the distributor. As far as I can tell the power must pass through the Ignition Module (mounted on the passenger side of the firewall under the hood) and then it goes to the distributor. Unfortunately no one (that i talked to) knows how to test the ignition module to confirm that this is the problem.
