Blazer's 85 Suburban "Twinkie"

[folkenheath]

The ignition amplifier is just a box that holds the 7 pin GM ignition module from the 80s. So if it fails you just drill out the rivits and get a new one.

It was a pleasure speaking with you on the phone Keith.

I just saw what FasterEddie posted above, if you have an RPM signal to the ECU, a new coil, and still no spark, a new ignition module might fix it cheaply.

If you decide to move forward with updating the whole ECU to be both self tuning and fully programmable, I have the stuff in stock to make it work with most of your current hardware.

Talk to you later.

So Twinkie runs again.

Thank you to Heath, Fastereddie and others who have helped getting it running.
Ended up replacing the ICM, after figuring out where it was, still didn't run.
Got a wiring diagram for the module pulled a bunch of zip ties off traced the wires figured out where the ground was going cleaned the ground off and then tried to start it.
Was popping and sputtering, had spark yeah.
Re timed it it was 180 out, started right up

Whoohoo

[mrk5]

Nice! Cheap fixes are best.

 

[kgblazerfive]

So a bit of an update.

Twinkie will soon have a new home.


Yup building a shop
30 x 40 x 12 with a 33ft or so pad out front as like a drive way, the pad is next to my trailer thingy which is staying.

 

[JoshHefnerX]

By a new home, I hope you mean in the shop... If so, congratz!

 

[ashman]

Nice! You finally pulled the trigger!

 

[mrk5]

Bet you're excited about that! Should be nice.
