85 and 86 tecate electrical help

[mjquadracer]

restoring an 85 and 86 tecates. Need advice on electricals. The 85 has, I think a pvl ignition. Stator is fried, gallon of water in it. Should I try to fix the stator? or go with a ricky stator set up? even if I do that I still need to find a cdi box which is discontinued, I think. So does the pvl ignition use its own coil and cdi? Im confused. the 86 has a good flywheel and stator, I think. but no cdi. is that discontinued also? I tried bidding on one on e bay but lost and am pissed!

cdi's turn up quite often on ebay. Try posting 'wanted' in classifieds, and use search.

The PVL doesn't use OEM coil or CDI.

nope, the pvl is a total aftermarket electrical set-up. keep looking on ebay, and post some want ads in the classifieds section, you'll find one, keep the chin up.

I did a google search on motoplat ignitions which is in my 85 tecate. I heard motoplat was bought by pvl, I'm not sure if that is true or not. But there is quite a few companies in the us that rebuild the parts from the motoplat ignitions. Maybe they do the same for pvl ignitions.
Just a thought,
