Looks like I fried the optical sensor in my Mallory. Did some timing work, shut it down, then went out a few hours later to go for a drive. No spark. Put my old 009 with pertronix back in and its running.
Questions - 1) I have a bosch blue coil, and its measuring 3 ohms pos to neg, and 8k coil wire to either neg or pos. This seems a little low. Could it have been the cuplrit in killing my dizzy? 2) From what I have read, the blue coil has an internal resistor. Would adding a ballast resistor provide additional protection to the Mallory(once fixed) or would it just run like crap? |
