Been many years since I put in a Pertronix, but I seem to recall adding an 'extra' loop on the inductive pickup. Bob -------------------------------- Bob Spidell - San Jose, CA ----- Original Message ----- Hi Bob, I ran into this when I first installed my Pertronix on my positive ground BJ8. I found that the Pertronix doesn't draw as much current as points and therefore does not create enough of a magnetic field with only one loop on the back of the tach. I ended up splicing in some thin wire so I could make 3 or 4 loops where there would normally only be one and that made the tach very responsive and accurate. You might try this. Cheers, Chris BJ8...in the final bodywork stages |
