Quote: Is it a conversion or a Pertronix distributor? I have a Pertronix distributor and it doesn't use a ballast resistor. You may be able to bypass the resistor to see if it will start.
I do have the original distributor converted, and the original ballast resistor. So if I eliminate the BR, what do I do with the wires?
On mine, I ran a small jumper wire between the terminals of the ballast resister, so I could leave it in place but skip it, as well as using the terminals for the Pertronix wiring.
