82 celica need ignition help please

[w.i.p.p]

alright so i got this celica for free and i am having igniton problems i found another forum that said you can do the hei module swap so i did it and i got spark once but never again changed modules rewired everything and still no luck dose anyone have any other ways

did they make the 20r distributors in a points? im thinking at this point that may take care of all my problems???????

btw this is a race car so the wiring very minimal includes

fuel pump
coil
tach
starter

i got them all on separate switch

any help would be great t

thanks everyone

18R, 20R and 22R all have interchangeable distributor internals.
So converting between them is just a case of pulling them apart and reassembling one with the best bits.

I would not recommend going back to points for a race car.
I did that once when my igniter module died and my 8000rpm redline engine refused to go above 6000 due to points bounce.
EI rules !

My guess is that you wired it up wrong and burnt out the igniter.
Compare with the ei.pdf and points,.pdf diagrams here:

Or you can send me some photos of how you wired up your igniter and I will compare against my 1977 18R-G igniter.
