How to test igniter?

I had this exact problem and it was the igniter

Shoot, anyone have a cache of spares and want to part with one? Want to check before swallowing the ebay prices.

I bought a parts van simply for the igniter and a few other bits I don’t need it but I have a very nice van and can not afford to not have spares maybe someone else has a few?

Thanks for the info jbtechtold.

Not sure if this applies to the 'ole 79 igniter on the TV, but this youtube video came up showing how to test 1990's Toyota igniters with 12v, 5v, and continuity setting on your multimeter. The guy had to use an oscilloscope and a logic tester to verify though so I probably won't be experimenting with this anytime soon. It would be neat if it worked to test the 79 igniter though.

Let us know if you figure it out.

Also maybe some a useless tip but i "tested" my igniter by stabing the leads that go to the distributor with a logic probe and cranking just to see if it made and broke ground. Red light should flash on and off. Not a real test but it made me feel like it was good lol.
