if you got it try it, but there different systems. You don't get any spark in any wires with plugs in them,

I had to run a new ground strap for the case because i broke it off when i put in new bolts instead of screws on the valve cover.

I would check the connector, try some T pins or something to see if there is current on either side.

actually, if you desperately want to check if the ignitor's bad and have a spare '85 ignitor, you could wire the '85 ignitor up to the ecu and one coil and see if those two plugs fire. you'd need to know which wires are which on both the '85 igniter and your current one, and hook up power, ground, +/- to one of your coils, IGt and IGf from the ecu. i think you risk frying your '85 igniter if you accidentally hook up one of the other ecu outputs to IGt so be careful. but yeah then one of your coils ought to fire i think... if it does, i'd feel safe blaming your problem on your ignitor, if it doesn't fire, i'd explore other possibilities
