suzuki samurai needs help

Alrighty i come to the mighty FTE for help with my buddy's 1988 suzuki samurai. He was driving it in the parking lot and it just died. WE are not getting any spark or energy to the coil. So far we've ruled out the ignition switch by swapping one with another samurai. Rigth now i'm thinking maybe a relay blew? pick-up coil?also it doesn't appear to have a control module.
So far thats all i got...any advice would be appreciated thanks guys

I don't just want to toss out any old guess, but this forum (Been there, but not in a while...) ought to help you out.

Good luck.

Cool, that's actually good to know. Everything attached to the generator baseplate are probably the only things I haven't replaced in my Samurai. I'll have to remember this.
