Keep the spark on schedule with the Standard Ignition Distributor Ignition Pickup, part number LX-379. Mounted inside the distributor, this pickup senses the rotating trigger wheel and sends the timing pulse that tells the ignition control module when to fire the coil. It drops in as a direct-fit replacement for the 1978-1980 Cadillac Seville and 1979-1980 Cadillac Eldorado.
- What it does: generates the ignition trigger signal, giving the control module the reference it needs to time each spark event.
- Signs it may need replacing: if a failing pickup is the cause, you may see a hard no-start, intermittent stalling, or a rough-running condition. Diagnose the cause before replacing, since these symptoms can have other sources.
- Direct-fit design: intended to install in the distributor for the listed applications.
