1970 2.2 ignition control unit

[911t Fanatic]

I have a spare ignition box that i am looking to sell but i was wondering if their is a check to see if it is good or not. I dont want to sell to someone if it doesnt work.

I assume you are talking about the CDI unit? If so, I will buy it from you with the understanding if it doesn't work I can return it for a refund. I can quickly test it on my 71T.

Really? Are their really people out their that are that trusting?

Why sell it priced as core... that cuts off the risk on both parties, electronics can fail the momnet it leaves your hands even if test good. shipping it by any post services would entail it being thrown around. all alright for new stuffs but the old joints and such might be in need of rebuilding.

what is a core price?

Here is an ebay link I have nothing to do with this seller he is asking $500 for rebuild, charges say $100 for core. So i guess $100 or less?

If you had a spare that you did not know if it worked would you sell it for $100.00? Not sure what to do. Thanks.

I would clearly state it as a CORE in the ad and tell they buyer i cant confirm it works.. I'll price at the lower end so that if it works its the buyer's benefit. I am ok with not gaining if it works. But if it does not work the price takes it into account so i see. Nice for both parties.

ocassionally we keep too many stuffs in the garage. it going to be difficult to remeber the condition of every item..

especially since Christmas is coming it would be great to clear out the garage for you relatives cars to come or visit to your house.

i would put it in and test it. if it works, i would keep it as a spare, in my trunk.
i carry a spare CD and coil. the only other major thing that will keep my car from running is the fuel pump.
if it does not work, i would have it fixed, as long as it is a bosch unit, and keep it.

I'll give you $50 shipped for it, with no expectations of working or not. If it doesn't work I'll use it as a core for a rebuilt unit. This is assuming it is a 3-pin Bosch CDI.
