    Replace Ignition Control Module (ICM) and Coil:

    1. Disconnect negative battery cable, recording any radio codes first.
    2. Remove hex head machine screws, securing distributor cap to housing, using an 8 mm nut driver.
    3. Move distributor cap and wires off to the side.
    4. Remove machine screw securing rotor to shaft, using a #2 Phillips head screwdriver. It may be necessary to "hit" the starter once or twice, in order to rotate rotor for access to mounting screw.
    5. Remove rotor and leak cover.
    6. Unfasten ignitor wires, remove coil mounting screws, and set coil aside. Note: Removing coil first improves access to ignitor.
    7. Unfasten screws securing ignitor to housing.
    8. Remove ignitor from distributor and unfasten screws mounting ignitor to heat sink.
    9. Coat back of new ignitor (or old ignitor, if reusing) and male connectors with silicone grease. Silicone grease increases heat transfer to heat sink. Failure to apply silicone grease will cause the ignitor to quickly fail.
    10. Mount ignitor to heat sink and reinstall ignitor, ignitor terminal wires, coil, coil wires, leak cover, rotor, and distributor cap. Ensure female ignitor terminals fit snugly--crimp with pliers, if necessary.
