Found out some interesting information today.

I decided to run the MS on the bench for an extended period to burn it in. I noticed that my igniter started to get pretty hot to the touch, much hotter than I remembered in the car... so I shut it down. I figured I was having some dwell issues causing it. So I did some research and found out that the 1995 Avalon (what my motor came from) uses the same igniter as the following cars:

8/90-5/93 JZA70 1JZ Supra
10/93-8/98 JZA80 2JZ TT Supra
9/94-8/95 MCX10 (Avalon 1MZ V6) 95 model

ALL use the same Toyota/Denso igniter assy.

89621-22030

Why's this important? Well the Supra igniter is a "smart" igniter, and handles dwell control on it's own. Good thing I caught this now before I cooked my igniter. IF I had a highHP car, I'd prolly look into switching over to a dumb igniter so that I could dictate my spark strength a little better.

See this diagram/datasheet for more info: http://www.ecimulti.org/albums/album220/ncf098.jpg
