Finally got around to switching over to the Delco style ignition. I started off with the whole assembly from the s/c engine I bought a few years ago, and after replacing parts, in the wrong order, I ended up with all new parts. The least expensive were the coils, not what was intended, but at least it works👍
I agree. If it lights up during "The Show" but not during normal driving it is the photo cell. The "Show" tells you the inverters work. Make sure you make the tool needed to get into the top of the dash or you will break the dash up.
That is an interesting story. Glad your son's saw value in two cars I was done with, and are making use of them. I think in about two more winters I will be done with the '88 and just have the Red for full time year round driving. Maybe you or your sons will be ready for another one...
