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.

Running the heavy black wire to the battery seems to have fixed it. Has a miss around 3-4000 rpm. Probably need to play around with the plug gap. May need to buy an e-coil.

Here is a photo. Had a hard time figuring out where to mount it. Didn't want to drill holes in the firewall after welding all of the old holes up & painting it.
