Thanks guys! I FINALLY got ahold of tech support at petronix... They said you need an internally resisted coil (eg: the petronix flame thrower II or accel super coil or others) and then just wire the dis to the coil and a keyswitched hot and your good to go. no overheating problems and very little power loss when the key is left on and engine is off I guess the new flamethrower 2 or 3 automatically senses driving conditions and adjusts the advance automatically. That's freaken awesome! He said with the plug and play billet dist. or the points converter and the new coil the spark's so freaken hot you can open up sparkplug gap for better flame travel increasing HP and fuel economy! I'm starting to like this new technology stuff!
