Sorry...starter spins, it has no spark.
I changed ballast resistor, coil, checked all connections.
Thanks for the assist Feets.
Chances are you destroyed the HallCell in the Petronix Module by running it with a ballast resistor
If you should continue to run a Petronix in the future, eliminate the ballast, and make sure to use the correct coil, the Petronix needs to operate at 12 volts, not in diminished capacity
Mike, guys,
Just a heads up on the ballast resistor - the instructions for the OLDER Pertronix Ignitor modules (Part #1361A & 1381A) state "If your ignition system is equipped with a ballast resistor, do not remove it."
The wiring diagram shows the positive side of the coil going through the BR before going to the Ignitor.
However, the troubleshooting section says if you suffer a low voltage condition, to connect the red Ignitor wire to the the ignition side of the ballast resistor, bypassing it - same as you are saying.
The newer Pertronix Ignitor II may have different instructions.?
Cheers,
