Guest Benr98 Posted August 28, 2008 Share Posted August 28, 2008 Thanks Scott, Ok got the link to work. I thought a resistor or something that had to be soldered in place? Do you know about that?Myron Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronnie Posted August 29, 2008 Share Posted August 29, 2008 It was plug and play on my 88 model. No resistors needed. Be sure to get the correct one at the junk yard. I found some cars with a different mounting plate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobwhite Posted August 29, 2008 Share Posted August 29, 2008 Bad link, here is correct one. Click below on HERE, then to get to the ignition module page, click on Cars, Musings & misc. Then click on Assorted articles near the bottom of the page. Lastly click on Replacing the Magnavox ignition. HERE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Bill_Boro Posted August 29, 2008 Share Posted August 29, 2008 I found that there were two different wiring harnesses for ignition modules at the junk yard. I bought both and cliped off both of the connectors and about a foot of the wiring harnesses and kept them with their respective modules since they were relatively cheap. The older module was out of a "93 Buick 3800 and the newer one was out of a "98. The "93 was a plug and play and I used it with the coils from the newer module. What a difference!!! It feels like it added 30 Hp! I was going to save the Motorola coil in case the next owner was a restoration purest. However, when I removed it the coil oozed a thick sticky blue-green fluid that I assume was once a potting epoxy that broke down. Therefore, it went into the trash.

DAVES89 Posted August 29, 2008 Share Posted August 29, 2008 You are correct on the oozing fluid. 1/2 hour work and low cost and restored power. Good for you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Kitskaboodle Posted September 2, 2008 Share Posted September 2, 2008 Junkyard upgrade complete! Thanks Padgett!!Went down to the local Pick-N-pull and grabbed a coilpakfrom a 93 Lesabre. Grabbed the whole thing in one unit, meaningthe coils, module & baseplate. Cost me around $20-25...half price at this Pick-n-Pull. Gettting at that last nut that holds the studs down to the baseplate was kind of a pain though. As for the plugs...went to Kragen's and asked for AC Rapidfires #14...they wanted $7.99 each! I DONT THINK SO!Went with the trusty and reliable NGK's for $1.99 each. Kit / 90 Coupe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
