Man you have all the luck don't you!
Yup. I have payed heavily for my own ignorance when inspecting the thing before purchase. Next time someone wants to charge me $3500 for a truck with a worn rear diff, glazed brakes all round, bad rear brake shoes, big engine oil leak, bad valve stem seals, bad front axle seals and cracked windshield, my answer is going to be a resounding "NOPE!"
If your ignitor is getting everything it needs but no spark it might have gone bad. I have had one go bad spontaneously, one other I fried with welding. SO yes they can go bad.
Other things to check are the pick up coil in the distributor and those pick up wires, I have had those get crusty enough to not work. It sounds like you eliminated those already though.
As far as I can tell, yes
Want me to see if I have an ignitor for you in the shed?
Post up a photo of the style you have.
Sure... Thanks a bunch. If you find one, PM me your email for PayPal.
