I had some issues with points and the boy fried the condenser this last round so I decided to try out the Pertronix system as it sounded like a good idea.
The directions were a little bass akward in that it would tell you to install the plates and then run the wires out, and the clearance was inadequate as the plates were in the way. But after a few rounds of assembly and dis assembly, we got it together and it appeared to be together correctly. We had to use the spacer plate to get the height correct. All was well until we installed in the car and tried to fit the rotor. The spacer plate causes the rotor to stand up enough so that the rotor will not engage and turn. My thought process was to modify the rotor by sanding it down enough to bring it back into position. Any other thoughts here? |
