I have a 79 Spider with the electronic ignition. I have a coil with the heat sink and module.
My question is can I buy just the coil? If so what kind and where? Is this a Fiat supplier only part?
Might seem like an odd question but I am under the impression its difficult.
Reason is the car seems to have to crank about 3 times for about 10 seconds each time before it'll fire.
I'm thinking it might be the coil. I also am running dual carbs 40 IDF's.
Thanks

Re: Ignition Coil
Most of the Fiat suppliers service the coil as an assembly, with the heatsink & module$$$. I used an Accel coil. Most regular parts stores show the same coil as fitting most Chevys made in the last 25 years and many other cars. I think internal or external resistor is the biggest thing to look for.

Re: Ignition Coil
The battery has plenty of power and the carbs are receiving fuel. I have a manual choke and it seems to start better using the choke. But I figures maybe a stronger coil might help.
