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?
IMO.. throw the Pertronix distributor in the trash.. get either a Mopar electronic conversion kit or if low budget get a good used electronic distributor.
