Note: The original modules were 6-pin for older cars. Newer cars use the 7-pin modules. Saab has superseded the 6-pin with the 7-pin. Only the 7-pin modules are available even directly from Saab. 7-pin modules will work fine on older cars.
NOTE: Ignition amplifier failures are common failures. Failures can often be identified by checking spark from the center of the distributor. If no spark is present & the coil and rotor button specifications are correct, the ignition amplifier will most likely be the cause.
NOTE: There are Bosch numbers like 022710047 on some of the part numbers like 8980534. When you see these Bosch numbers make sure you match up the numbers on your unit to the Bosch numbers we have listed to make sure that you are ordering the correct one. The Bosch number is written on the front of your black unit and will say Bosch.

V series Plugs are precious metal electrode tips and offer extended service life and resistance to cold fouling but cold fouling may occur in situations where the engine is not allowed to reach optimum temperatures!
NOTE: 7ES plugs and 7ES-11 Plugs are the same plug except for the gap. Always check the plugs before installing them to be sure the gap is correct for your vehicle!
