Nobody knows how to test ignition module at part stores. So what should I do now?
:lol: sounds to me like you might of talked to some idiots man. Ok i dont know if you have a preference in parts houses or not but ive always had great luck in Oreilly's. All oriellys stores have ignition control module testers. If one says they dont know how, Id ask them to point you to someone that does. I used to work in an Oreillys back in KY a few years ago and it was mandatory for us to know the systems and to check parts for customers to save them money, ya know. If they didnt need it, why sell it to them. But if they did, they had options on the parts depending on what type of warrenty they wanted and with the warrenty came the price and better the part. I looked up your location, and seen the closest store to you is in Batesville. Id go there, ask a manager to give ya a hand. all the testers are next to or close to the battery charge/tester and the alt/starter testers in a set of drawers. Depending on what type of engine and distributor you got, you should have a 7 point ignition module. 5 on one side and 2 on the other. unless the distrubutor has been changed or the car has a different motor, you may have a 4 point ignition module. either way there should be a tester and someone there that knows how to use it. if you dont want to resort to that, id hit up junkyards. most wont charge ya for a part like this because your taking a chance on it to work or not so id find a few of em but just remember to put the dielectric grease on the module before you bolt it down but make sure the distributor plate is free and clear of old grease and dirt or else the heat transfer from the module to the distrubtor plate wont be even and the module will go out again.
