Keep your ignition timing signal firing with the Standard Ignition Distributor Ignition Pickup LX-318, a direct-fit replacement for the 1980 Cadillac Eldorado (V8-6.0L) and the 1980-1981 Pontiac Firebird (V8-4.9L). This distributor pick-up assembly is the magnetic sensor mounted inside the distributor that senses reluctor rotation and sends the trigger signal the ignition module uses to time each spark. If a failed pickup is the cause of your ignition trouble, this replaces it.
Signs this pickup may need replacing include intermittent stalling, hard starting, or a no-start, along with erratic spark. Because these symptoms can have other causes, diagnose the ignition system before replacing.
