took car up to car show in MB,

car died,no spark

they had cheapo dizzie's for $50, so i got one, and got it home.

however....it runs like crap.

so I want to put my Accel dizzy back in, but I don't want to swap parts out till i get it to run.

does any local shops have a dizzy test bench?

or should I just take the module out, have it tested, and replace the coil?



the cheapo chinese dizzy had a manufacturing defect, that I did not notice till i got back to the car, one terminal did not get a post dropped in, so it filled up with plastic.
I cut into it to see if there was a terminal inside...no joy!

i had to put my Accel Cap on there, to get it home...

it turns out I had traded Ray a dizzy for some work, and he never got it sold on CL, so I bought it back at a reasonable discount (hey, i had to go WAY up there and get it)

and I built one out of the three, and it works LIKE A CHAMP now!!

check out my new dizzy work station, this was GREAT while moving parts between the three of them!

you can the internal difference here, the rusty one is the "good" one.
