Ignition Amplifier Module Relocation Kit (STC1856)

[jimngo]

I'm selling a nearly-new ignition amplifier module relocation kit (stc1856). I installed it for only about a week then decided to get a mallory distributor. It works great, guaranteed. $225 shipped in the lower 48 states.

Follow-up Post:

This is a highly-recommended modification. The stock ignition amplifier is mounted to the distributor. Over time, heat and vibration causes it to intermittently fail. Symptoms include misfire, stalling and poor idle control. The kit includes a new amplifier module that is mounted on the wing, next to the coil, and a dummy pass-through module that replaces the one on the distributor.

Bump. Still got it for sale. $200 now.

Jim,

Is this still for sale? Is it a genuine kit or one of the aftermarket ones?

Thanks.

Reviving zombie necro post beware........Yea did he ever sell this? Does anyone know where to buy this kit now in the year 2010? Can't seem to find junked D1's or RRC in the year 1995 lately.

Will they let me go in there and take it off myself or is it one of those we catalogue the parts then jack up the prices just short of brand new places...

I paid $145 bucks for my tranny AND they delivered it for free to Santa Monica and it came with a 90 warranty.... Ill let you do the math.

Charles I've been to places around Sunland here where they've done that exact thing for small items such as heater control units etc. John thats pretty cheap, mabye I should try and see if they can identify the part. Seeing how its a junkyard in Sunland, I'll probably get a chance to bargain with a thick persian accent :)

[Rocketman]

Do you have one that will fit a NAS D110?

[Neil McCauley]

John according to your pics I guess the first one is what I appear to need with the dummy module, does yours come with it? Thanks

Neil

[Neil McCauley]

Anyone still got one?

[Abrooks]

Neil, it wouldn't be terribly had to make it up. All STC1856 is is a dummy module, a real module, a 4' piece of harness connecting the two and an L shaped bracket that mounts the Real one next to the coil. I'd think that if you sourced 2 standard modules, gutted one as a pass-through for the loom, made up a harness and bracket, you'd be in fine shape. The whole idea behind it was to move the module off the (hot) coil and up into some cooler air.

[Neil McCauley]

I'm sure I could just cut the wires from the optical pick up and do it that way but it'll look real ugly hehe. I think I might just do the mallory thing everyones doing. I think amazon is the cheapest place to buy the distributor (238.00) and the coil that dosen't need the ballast (74.00). Anyone know any cheaper places?

Whoever came up with the notion that the ignition module had to be relocated must have been high on something. It's 100 percent absolutely fine where it is. I do keep a spare in the cubby box tho...

Feh. It cured a longstanding issue with the ignition system in my '94 and has for many others. Leave that spare at home and tempt fate . . .

You are nuts.

Ignition modules don't do well with heat and on the dizzy it cooks, on the fender it stays cool (and is 10x easier to change). How you change one in situ on the side of the road without pulling the dizzy I would like to see.

PS no offense intended.

[Neil McCauley]

I was actually able to remove the ignition module without taking the distributor off, I was at home of course but it was kind of a bitch. Wouldn't want to do it off the side of the road. You have to take off the vacuum advance screws, than the advance itself, rotate the distributor to the front, it helps to loosen the alternator bracket and push it to the side, which is what I did, then I was able to access the screws with my tiny socket set. Hey is there a substitute for that white silicone that comes with the ignition module that I can use? What if I use dielectric grease or just regular silicone, will it make a difference?

[cgalpin]

I believe it's the same thing you put on heat sinks on computer CPUs - it's a conductive paste to allow a good connection between the module and the mounting plate to dissipate heat.

[Neil McCauley]

lol do they sell that at frys? I'm going the Mallory route finally so hopefully I won't need this for much longer.

[cgalpin]

Yup

BTW, I expect nothing less than a picture a young lady's exposed buttocks with N and M drawn on them with the remaining paste, since you don't need much for the job.
