Shuttle Ignition Modification


Folder: Technical, Ham Radio, Photography Etc from 2006
These photos show how I replaced the original 'ignitor' module, after it failed, with a Champion CM418 module. The module selection came from a highly skilled automotive engineer.

Shuttle ignition 005

Shows the new wiring in the dizzy. The original lugs are retained on the pick-up wires. The original insulating clamp is used to connect to two std spade crimp lugs which have been drilled and filed to suit. The lugs are connected to short lengths of 4sq mm multi strand wire. The solder lugs are retained on the wires to the coil. These have been squashed into a suitable shape for use with the crimp joiner. Two eye lugs have had a small loop of single strand wire, with sleeving, crimped. These are fixed inside the dizzy using screws and nuts in the ignitor mounting holes. These provide blockage of the holes and cabletie anchor points to enable securing of the wiring.
