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. |

ok - i have been there done that on almost all aspects of the silly CDI hyfire box....
TACH - check this out. all you need to do is jumper the initial signal resistor on early silver center tachs.... 74+ work fine..... do a seach. Agrump did it, and i did a blurb on it also Coil - dump the pertronix. I started with the blue coil (bosch), i would get an intermittant miss.... went to a 1.5 ohm pertronix coil... all it did was move the miss higher into the RPM range.... i called mallory/mr gasket tech.... buy a CDI coil. i like the promaster e coil from centeuryperformance.com (like NO IMPEDANCE vs 1.5 + ohms......) YOU NEED TO MOVE THE LARGE BLACK WIRE TO A BETTER GROUND. OR DIRECTLY TO NEG terminal on the battery. made a difference for me!!!! lemme know if you need any more assistance... |
