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

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.
