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 !

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.
