Small Cap Distributer and External Coil for TPI cars.

Hello, I have a small cap distributer and a external coil for a tpi car for sale. Im asking $50 plus shipping. Thats less then what i payed for then and i havent even installed either one. So dont ask for it for less.

Re: Small Cap Distributer and External Coil for TPI cars.

Both appear to be the factory parts or stock replacement parts. I haven't taken the cap off to see if it's got a different ign module in it however.

Re: Small Cap Distributer and External Coil for TPI cars.

No, I bought the coil off of a guy here that was parting out a car. And bought the distributer off ebay. Both used. I never installed either of them onto my car because i switched to a tpi harness that was for a large cap distr.

Re: Small Cap Distributer and External Coil for TPI cars.

The small caps were used after 86 in the cars with TBI or TPI. 92's either had TBI or TPI if i remember correctly so it will work with yours as long as you have that. If its a carbed car with vac adv. then it wont work. If you want it, its yours for $40 plus ship. Im taking a loss at that price.

Re: Small Cap Distributer and External Coil for TPI cars.

you should post a picture of the flange. there are a difference for the later tbi car's and trucks and will not work on a tpi. the coil bracket you have is tbi.

Re: Small Cap Distributer and External Coil for TPI cars.

Here is a pic of the flanges. I was unaware of the differences so thanks for pointing that out. It looks like mine is the smaller flange. I also was sold the coil as a tpi coil, but if its for a tbi then im glad it was noticed now instead of after its sold. As i said i never installed these.

Re: Small Cap Distributer and External Coil for TPI cars.

Still have these. As shown in the pictures and confirmed by tunedperf. it works with any tpi car that has a small cap distr. and so will the coil, but the bracket for the coil is to mount to TBI.
