Brian =E2=80=93 Be sure that you are feeding the unit a full 12 volts =
and not a reduced voltage through a resistance wire or ballast resistor.

Subject: [TR] Pertronix Ignition

=20

Hi,

=20

Last week to solve a very worn distributor issue on our negative ground =
TR4A, we replaced:

=C2=B7        the distributor body and vacuum advance using NOS Lucas =
parts

=C2=B7        points etc. with Pertronix Ignitor

=C2=B7        Lucas Sports coil with Pertronix Flame Thrower

=20

The distributor cap, plugs and wires are all fairly recent.

=20

After the install, the car ran incredibly better =E2=80=A6 for about 100 =
miles.

=20

Then it completely lost power and we coasted to the side of the road of =
course in a rural location just before dark and 20 miles from the ferry =
dock.  It would crank but not fire.  Diagnosis revealed fuel in the =
float bowls but no spark.  Not having any parts with me, we floated it =
home via CAA.

=20

The next morning, acting on advice from my mechanic, I tried a new rotor =
and this which made no difference.  Subbing in the Lucas Sports coil, it =
fired right up.  So the Pertronix coil has failed and they have agreed =
to replace it under warranty.

=20

I=E2=80=99d be interested in hearing other experiences with this setup.  =
Pertronix advises I can run with the Lucas coil as long as it is at =
least 3.0 ohms.  As the Sports coil is 3 ohms, I appear to be good, but =
am concerned about frying another coil.  Obviously, I won=E2=80=99t =
travel without a spare.

=20

Comments?

=20

Cheers,

=20

Brian
