Igniter

Does anyone know if there is a difference between igniters. Ebay has one for a 500 interceptor and I have an 85 700 Interceptor. My old one filled with anti-frezze. Ya, I know, how did that happen? Quite a tail of woe, I will be telling soon.
Thanks.

 

What are you calling igniters? The ignition boxes in the tail section? If so I doubt you could use a 500 in place of one for a 700.

 

Ya, the CDI is what I think they call it. It sits under the seat in front of the taillight. Turns the coils on and off.

 

Yes they are two different animals, and different from one another in gen 1 700-750....what one is toast?Each one runs half the engine , I may have one.....was digging through some parts the other day and realized I had a gen 1 CDI......got a part number? The number is located on the top of the box.Let me know in PM please.

 

I have a set for sale from an '83 750 if you're interested. They work just fine. See them here...

65 bucks sounds like a great deal. I would jump on that if I was looking for a set myself.
