Thanks PeterYes, Tridon still seem to be trading here at that address, as well as another. I did not know they did ignition parts - have bought a fair few of their thermostats over the years.
I will follow up on the pick up coil issue. That may be it - who knows!
Cheers

: Hi Hamish
:
: Should have put ACA is Automotive
: Computers Australia and their part
: number is IM113 .
:
: Also found another of my many books ...
: this one is TRIDON ( 1999 print )
: ...... back then they had a Gold
: standard Modules with Lifetime warranty
: .... this book agrees with the
: previous , ACA info that the same
: module is in all those vehicles .
:
: Their part # is TIM016
:
: TRIDON book offers some info on the
: Pick up coil .
:
: A failed pick up coil can cause hard
: starting , hesitation , no starting ,
: rough idle and misfires .
:
: The pick up coil tell the module when
: to do its stuff .
:
: They have or back then had a branch in
: NZ
:
: 11 Waipareira Avenue
: Henderson

: PH (09) 836 5653 Fax (09) 836 5521

: Email... mail@tridon.com.au
:
: Don`t know if any of these will be any
: good still .

: Thanks Peter
:
: I have not been able to find any info
: about the modules other than a US
: website for aftermarket modules that
: seemed to offer only one module for all
: HEI.
:
: The module is as you say, a flat box,
: qwith angled ends, almost banana shaped
: and with 2 pins at each end. So unless
: I have struck two dud modules, that is
: not it.
:
: The wires to the dizzy cap are on a
: separate component which has a
: condensor attached.
:
: I replaced that at one point so that
: should not be an issue.
:
: The only part that I've not replaced is
: the coil that goes around the shaft to
: pick up the firing signal. It does
: involve wires, so maybe I will replace
: that.
:
: After that, maybe the coil which was
: supposed to be brand new & looks it
: is a dud. I've had new and near new
: coils go belly up before.
:
: Thanks for your thoughts - always good
: to have someone look at a problem from
: another angle.
:
: Cheers

: Hi Hamish
:
: Thinking on it and yep i reckon module
: or its wires but guessing .
:
: The first fried because of the lack of
: heat sink and the reason it stopped
: after warming up .
:
: Maybe try refitting the first module
: and if it runs on all cylinders before
: it stops , it may be telling where the
: problem is ?
:
: The second running with a lack of
: cylinders says to me module also ......
: the timing bit could be because it
: triggers the coil and it is failing
: internal but again guessing .
:
: I have ACA parts manual that with other
: componets has ignition modules which
: also has a sub cat which covers NZ only
: .
:
: As i say i know very little about these
: dissys ......
:
: In the listing for CHEV it give 196 CID
: through 454 CID 1974 through 1989
: ...inline 6 and V6 and V8 as all using
: the same module .
:
: Same for BUICK 173 CID through 455 CID
: inline 6 , V6 and V8 , same module .
:
: Same for Pontiac which is similar to
: Buick capacities , etc .
:
: Some Alfas , Fiats , Jaguars , Jeeps ,
: Lancias ,Peugots , Renaults and 3500
: Vitesse Rovers .
:
: The same module is used in all the
: above .
:
: It is rectangular with curls or angled
: ends , it has two mounting holes .
:
: On one end there are to male spade type
: , same size .
:
: On the other end there are two male
: spade type , one smaller than the other
: and the larger of the two is shorter
: than the two on the other end .
:
: Interestingly and a different module
: than above but .....for 3.5 ltr it give
: a listing for NZ RR 85 on as being
: different to AU RR 87 on as in
: different part number and the pics show
: them as different .
:
: The AU RR 85 and 86 are different to AU
: RR 87 but that`s because they don`t
: have the module on the dissy .
:
: The NZ 85 RR must have the module on
: the dissy because of the shape of the
: module .
