Don't need an igniter, but, was looking at one of the car-parts web sites
and couldn't believe the price of ignitors.  They want $ 3-400 each.  They
are the size of a small match box.  Can there really be more electronics
inside than in a Ipod or similar consumer device?  Are they made of solid
gold?  What's inside them, anyway.  Since wrecking yards typically charge
1/2 price of retail, I suppose any old wreck is worth at least $200 because
of the ignitor?

Thanks,

I suspect an electronic ignition module, something like the CDI or HEI
units.
