ok....i've checked everything else carb..fuel pump and lines...dizzy is spinning and air gap and oms are good..coil oms ok and getting volts..ignitor assembly oms high...19.0k...but its getting volts too...no spark from coil!?..tell me i forgot to test something...i don't wanna shell out the bucks for a new ignitor...toyota wants $300 with my tlca discount....thanks...

 

have you tried a junkyard? how long ago did this stop working?

 

it stopped 2 weeks ago...i tried a used coil...no luck....and all the igniter assemblys had been snagged already at the junk yard....i have an assembly from a 79 that i got at the junk yard but it only has a single prong power plug....any way to rig it up to work?....what about the regulator?...could it be the problem?...hey i don't have a computer at home you can call me if you have any ideas or can help me out...707 479 6811...names Aden...thanks !!

 

the alternator regulator doesn't do a thing for the ignition system.

before you fork out $300 to toyota, you could always buy an MSD box for a little over $100, or check the parts stores and compare prices.

 

it is quite easy to wire up the msd box... i have seen one in an 83 engine..... you can even reuse the stock coil and the original distributer
