Look in the bottom of the box.....piece of paper called "INSTRUCTIONS".....it's right next to the spare set of points that you need when it takes a shit on ya the day after the warranty expires.... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/w00t.gif)

Thanks. Kevin actually was the 1st to answer over at rennlist, where I actually asked AFTER I didn't hear from this list. As for the instructions being in the box, most people don't carry the box around 2 years after they buy the car with the pertronix installed ............................... The Cap'n, thankful and satisfied .............

Not another one! Group: Benefactors Posts: 4,526 Joined: 1-March 04 From: San Mateo, CA Member No.: 1,743 |
WARNING: the Pertronix needs to get its power w/o the ballast resistor interfering. If the coil has an internal resistor, no worries, just hook the red to + and the black to -. If there's an external ballast resistor or a resistor wire to the + post, you need to hook the red wire up BEFORE that. If you try to run the Pertronix on less than 12 volts, it won' t work. I don't think it will smoke, but it will run like crap (assuming you can even get it started).
