OK guys I've got at least two things going on. I finally got a good switch (fourth times a charm), but I'm still not starting.
1. I get power going into the relay board, but not coming out. What happens to the juice once it enters the board? I cleaned up the pins and connectors, but I still do not get power out consistantly. 2. When I do get power out the starter turns like a champ, but I am not getting spark all the time. This is a new trick. Is this associated with number 1, or a whole new problem. Thanks |

pertronix says not to leave the ignition on for more that 10 (?) seconds or else it will burn up the unit. I would use a set of points during the trouble shoot period. If you still have the receipt for the Pertronix, it has a 60 day warranty...?? maybe get another.....?
