Pertronix Ignition Problems.
#3
Timstrk Wrote:I put one in years ago and haven't had any problems. Is it grounded properly? Seems it was a simple install. Everything gapped correctly? I'm giving the obvious and probably not much help. Red wire goes to the + coil, black wire to the - coil and the ground wire inside the distributor gets hooked up under the screw that holds the pickup down. All I saw on mine. Had some stuff built up on the contact rotor that slides around the dist shaft. The rotor button thingy and then the dist cap goes on. Didn't change the wires from the cap? coil wire?

I don't know about the gaping on the Pertronix. I didn't get the little plastic air gapper. I think that is alot of my problem. But I had no fire on the coil? Plus the coil that I have is still the OEM.
