Hello all,

I am trying to install a Pertronix ignitor electronic ignitionin by 74 TR6 =
(replacing the 30+ year old Piranha) that finally failed. My carhas a balla=
st resistor. The instructions from Pertronix say to install the redwire in =
front of the ballast resistor but I cannot seem to find it or anydrawings a=
nywhere. Has anyone done this and can provide any guidance?

=C2=A0Thank you

Don=E2=80=99t do it.  The triple carb setup needs LOTS of air.  The =
airbox chokes them.  I did that.  Had to totally lean out the carbs to =
make it work.  use three separate K&N filters.  The slick looking triple =
carb airbox looks slick but starves the carbs of the air they need.  I =
threw mine away after I spent all that time and money on it.
