keep i mind EPA banned here, TBI in 1992/3. calif, and after 1995, FED.
our early ECU is 2 pins. coil and power.
it makes its own spark and advance and has no CMP.
our newest sammi are all 3 wire. every one,
if I look in the parts list yours (some) had 2 wire, mag coils inside, a mag rotor and 2 wire to the coil, a pure Faraday setup> or Hall, not sure. but wildly different.
What function does the ignitor that is bolt on the ignition coil ?
my TBI schmatic was horsed up by me to answer that exact question, its a power transistor
ever work on POINTS fired coils? like 1960s car?
the Points long ago were kicked to the curb and a transistor was replaced there, and dubb an ignitor.
zoom in here.
see my word DRIVER here. the ECU pulses the transistor there, and the transistor charges the coil , using near 8 amps of current (large)
usually the ignitor never fails unless the coil shorts. (primary shorted)

here is another page

see this ? on that page
i documented the ignitor here.,

see the next scope photo there,
see the top wave its of the coil minus, aka. ignitor drive signal;
the pulse is 7 M/S 7/1000'th of a second faster that the eye can blink.
