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.
It just needs 1.5 ohms total to protect the pertronix. If you were running a 0.6 coil with a ballast resistor that makes up the difference, you're fine. I think the 1.5 ohm coil without the ballast resistor is a better scenario, but I don't see how the way you had it would hurt it or cause it not to spark (it would just be a potentially weaker spark). I think you've got a problem somewhere else.
