Back when I was still fixing cars, and we were a little strapped for cash, I used the pickup coil and ignitor from a Toyota 22R motor. When one would come into the ship with a failed ignition, we replaced both the pickup coil and ignitor for warranty purposes. So I kept all the good pickup coils and ignitors.
I carefully bent the base on the pickup coil so it would fit in the distributor, and used the lobes on the point cam to trigger it. The ignitor was mounted to a standard Toyota coil. I had to take about a 1/4 inch off the bottom of the rotor to clear the pickup coil, but it worked great. |
