I have a 2056 Ljet w a 009AA distributor. It was starting and running good, albeit with some pinging under load that I'm trying to eliminate. so I removed the points and replaced them w a Pertronix unit. I followed the instructions, removing the distributor to make the installation easier, and now she no start. No spark either. I went through the troubleshooting guide, I have a Bosch blue coil w 3.1 ohms, a charged battery, voltage at the coil etc. I called Pertronix, and now two days later have not heard back from their tech dept. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/bs.gif)
So my question is...( and Ivegone through the search) has the Hot Spark SVDA been swapped out to anyone's great satisfaction? It seems like a setup that should work, andtheprice for the distributor with the unit installed seems like a good deal. BTW, if anyone has any tips on the Pertronix unit, I'm listening. Thanks, Joe |
