  • Ignition Module interchangeable???

    Well Best bet would be for me to change the icm but luckily theres that guy with the 1987 mazda 323. The thing is that It looks like the disty looks exact to the carbed festi but his is efi. I'm thinking that they might be interchangeable

        The part numbers on Rockauto are different for an 87- 323 and an 88 Festiva. My guess is they wont interchange.

        Im going to be nice and not say anything about you really needing to learn to do your own research. Especially since youve admitted that youre not very mechanically inclined. And that doing your own research would be a good learning experience for you.
        But Im not going to say any of that.

              1987 323


              1989 festiva


              The difference is the efi would have a plug on the top of the disty.

              Im usually wrong about cars and im probably wrong on this 1 as well.

                Need to look at them again. The Festiva one has 2 vacuum lines coming off it. The 323 has only 1.
                Does it matter? Probably. I wouldnt think itd be there if it didnt.
