December 27, 200222 yr comment_21622 B, I installed an ignition from a'79 zx and did away with the ballest resister and used the '79 coil. Works great , next time I see ya I'll show you how to do the install. You can go to geocities.com/engine/html and go to the end of all the info. there is a diagram on how to do the mod.
