Have you called Rapid Parts to see if they make Blue Ignitors for
this car? I used them on my '89 100Q about two years ago. They were
at least 25% cheaper than stock, and much better quality.

The set was fitted specifically to the car, not just "generic"
lengths, so at least some thought went into each application.

They also have a lifetime guarantee (I think).
