I bought this dizzy off ebay last year and only just got around to trying it in my partners auto.

Its the same as this dizzy here on the wiki.

Can I get this working without the control module at all? Otherwise I may have to get one from the US which wont be cheap.

Any help will be appreciated.

The easy thing to do is get a Toyota coil with the silver igniter module on the coil from the '80's to ?

All you have to make is a cable that connects the igniter to the pickup coil in the dizzy. I did this on the rally car many years ago. Sorting the wiring between the pickup coil in the dizzy and Toyota igniter on the coil is easy. Plug the 2 wires in. Does it fire? Yes, you are done. No, swap the 2 wires.

IIRC the Toyora coil does not use a ballast coil so the switched ignition goes directly to the + terminal of the coil.

Cheers, thats what im after! I have seen celicas with coils like that, I will let you know how i go.
