[Roadsters] the NEVER ENDING story

[dave]

There are usually 1 or 2 modules on Ebay for about $49.00.  I use him as a
source when I run short.  I get them in on cores physically broken, but
still working.  Of course I can't sell these, but they are good spares if
anyone wants one.

It's called an E12-80, and that # is stamped on it.  Always try to get a
Nissan if you are buying a used one, and the one with the extra plug on the
side won't work, it's for a 280Z turbo.

If you REALLY get stuck, you can wire in a GM HEI module, cheap and
available anywhere, with a few feet of wire and some tape in about half an
hour and get home.

 You can find spare modules, even new ones on EBAY. Good to have in the
glove box. Yes they are otherwise expensive new. You might be able to find
some on wrecked 1982 B210s or check to see if someone is parting out? a 210
so you can get the module.
When I got my GB dizzy from Garry the instructions listed numbers for the
spare parts.

Ive had the Gary Boone dizzy on my car for several years and it has
performed well, but the control module failed on my unit a few years ago not
too long after installing it.  Fortunately this happened at the Mt. Shasta
meet where there were a number of kind folk who were able to help out and I
was finally able to find a used good module to replace the bad one.  If I
wasn't able to find this used one from one of our vendors at a reasonable
price, I was going to have to purchase a new one from a local car parts
store for what I remember was around $175 and would have had to wait a day
for it.

So let's just say that I now carry a spare module with me just in case.  I
don't know how often these things might fail, I may have had the only one
ever, but sometimes it pays to worry just a little :-).
