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.




... should he get an ORANGE box too ???

Seriously there have been so many issues with MP distributors and phasing for DECADES , hearing now that even the NEW distributors with the adjustable mechanical advance has phasing issues .

I put my old pertronics set up in a buddies car witha MADE IS USA flame thrower coil , I need to look at the direction and probably switch in a phony ballast, it's running fine right now but I don't wantto burn up the GOOD MADE IN USA parts vs the CCJ they sell now ...




I am going to stick with the Pertronix, i dont want that big ugly orange box under the hood.
I had it wired through the ballast - thank you for the tips on how to jump it.
I also have the wrong coil. The manufacturer reccommends using a 1.5 ohm coil, i have a 0.6 ohm coil.
I'll have the new parts tomorrow, i'll let everyone know how it goes.
Thanks again boys.
