Standard Ignition LX-761 Distributor Ignition Pickup

Distributor Ignition Pickup for OE-Style Signal Control

Standard Ignition LX-761 is a distributor ignition pickup built for vehicles that need a reliable trigger signal from the distributor assembly. It uses copper windings, permanent magnets, and high-temperature enameled wire to support strong signal output and stable ignition performance.

Compatible With 1995-1997 Geo Metro, 1996-1997 Suzuki Swift, 1995-1997 Suzuki Esteem, and 1996-1997 Pontiac Firefly applications, including 1997 Pontiac Firefly models with Canada Emissions.

Key Features

• Distributor ignition pickup for electronic ignition systems
• Copper windings and permanent magnets for consistent signal emission
• High-temperature enameled wire for improved insulation
• Female connector with male pin terminals
• 2-terminal design for direct distributor pickup replacement
• Built under Standard Ignition manufacturing quality control

Detailed Description

The Standard Ignition LX-761 is engineered as a distributor ignition pickup for import applications that rely on accurate distributor signal generation. By combining copper windings with permanent magnets, this pickup helps maintain the signal quality needed for ignition timing and engine operation. The female connector, male pin terminals, and 2-terminal layout support OE-style electrical connection in the distributor assembly. This part is a direct-fit solution for 1995-1997 Geo Metro, 1995-1997 Suzuki Esteem, 1996-1997 Suzuki Swift, and 1996-1997 Pontiac Firefly models, including the 1997 Pontiac Firefly with Canada Emissions. Part number LX-761 is also a useful reference when matching distributor ignition pickup service parts for these vehicles.

This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., DR168, E5134) for the same application.

Common Problems It Can Help Solve

• Intermittent or weak distributor trigger signal
• Hard starting caused by ignition pickup failure
• Misfire or rough running related to timing signal loss
• No-start condition from a failed distributor pickup
• Ignition performance issues in high-temperature operating conditions

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify connector style, terminal type, and distributor application before installation. Inspect the distributor housing, wiring, and related ignition components for wear or heat damage before replacing the pickup. Confirm vehicle emissions configuration where noted, especially on 1997 Pontiac Firefly Canada Emissions applications. LX-761 should be matched to the original distributor pickup layout for proper fitment.

Quality Assurance

Standard Ignition manufactures electronic ignition components with complete quality control from component selection through final production. The LX-761 is built with materials selected to support signal strength, insulation performance, and consistent operation in distributor ignition systems.
