Hyfire VIa Wiring, Help ! Options

[MarkV]

I installed a Hyfire VIa yesterday. The car starts up and idles fine. Took it for a spin and it shut off after about a block. It will restart but then dies again. Made it home after restarting it 3 or 4 times. Can't restart it without using the starter, won't restart with momentum & the clutch.

I am using a Mallory dual point dizzy & a Pertronix 1.6 ohm Blaster coil w/ no ballast.

It is wired as follows: I have the large red wire going to the battery & the large black wire to chassis ground. The small black wire to the - side of the coil & the orange wire to the + side of the coil. The white wire goes to the points lug on the dizzy. The small red key on wire is going to the old + coil wire from the harness.

Oh & my tach doesn't work. Hooked the tach trigger wire up to yellow wire from the box and the tach does nothing.

The diagnostic LED glow solid while it is running & shuts off when it dies.

I don't have any idea.
But my .914 cents worth is my car runs great without it.
I was running a 009 with compufire trigger and a Mallory hyfire box.
car became more hard starting till finally no start. ran kinda sporatic boardering on crappy.

pulled the box and ran it on the 009 petronics coil . ran great.

since then I went to the Mallory dizzy and Mallory pro E coil. Pulls hard and only thing I wish I had was a rev limiter. 7000 RPM comes up to quickly.
