'86-'87 Ignition Module: Where to buy?

[pikespeakregal]

Where can I find the best price on these? Locally, I'm looking at spending $200.00!

TIA

I priced one yesterday at auto zone- 169.00

2 cents

Postons Buick in Atmore AL sells them, so does ATR. If you want to look in the used realm I believe Red Regal T sells them over on the used parts section. But for heavens sake don't mention SMC alky kit in the conversation with him. - BB

GM #24503624
www.gmpartsdirect.com $124.47 plus outrageous S&H

AC-Delco #D1996
www.rockauto.com $160.89
www.partsamerica.com $156.88

You can also buy the Wells unit at Autozone for like $100 but do so at your own risk. My "new" Wells unit turned out to be a POS, particularly because I was so slow to figure out that it, even though it was brand new, was the cause of my intermittent (once it got hot) ignition cut-out problem. Nothing but GM or AC-Delco electroncs for me.

Good luck,

www.partszoneonline.com $143. not the best price this time but keep them for future prices on GM parts.

Although the autozone part is guaranteed (Wells), I'd skip it. I have a pile of them, that look like new, yet all malfunction. Get a GM part.

I just finished dancing around with 2 Wells ignition modules.
Neither one worked in non-EST mode.
ie, the ignition only went active if the starter spun the motor to over 400 RPM, or as the just coughed to life.
I won't be buying one of those modules ever again.

And for the non-Bruce disciples in the crowd..... If you are running an aftermarket Accel Gen 7+ unit, the Boost Builder functionality reportedly does not work with non-GM ignition modules.

I think John Spina at Casper's sells OEM modules and coil packs.
