kjempen - Did you ever check the resistance of the ignition coils?

we are waiting to hear from the member in Norway on changing to the hotter champion plug to see if it works for him like it did for me.
Check out the spark plug thread.

Looks like I'm gonna have to settle for a brand new unit. I cannot find a used type 2 ignition system at the yards, and this starting issue is driving me crazy.
New units, aftermarket, are they any good? They are like 1/2 the price GM offers!!!! Gm wanted 400 bucks for a new unit!! thats not including the coils!

did you try Ebay, My local yards usually have two or three on hand @ $30 ea.
I think the stock Delco system works the best even if its used.
Check with Jr's3800. He tried the aftermarket and I think had to remove it.
Also check out the "spark plug" thread.

Tim - I can't seem to get kjempen to check his coils can you give it a try? My 89 Bonneville was giving me the same trouble as your car. One of these days when it'* really really cold your car will probably refuse to start. It only takes a couple of minutes to check the secondary side of the coils. Just pull a pair of spark plug wires off one of the three coils & check the resistance of that coil. Put the wires back on & repeat on the other coils. All three readings should be very close.
