Pertronix is saying that almost never happens. They will analyze the module and tell me whether it is covered by warranty.
But could be something in my ignition I guess.....now here comes the puzzling bit: Today I put new points & condenser in the dizzy that worked well last week - and no spark! Tried 2 different coils too. Yes, have 12v from ignition. I mean, a points system is so simple - I am really baffled. Only had few minutes today to look at car, will dig deeper tomorrow. I was shocked it didn't start right up with the points...... Will be checking plug wires - Bosche Ultra - no one has ever heard of them - they were new in the box from the PO of the car, but dating back to about 2005.....

Will report on what happens. Meanwhile ordered a Hot Spark unit - always good to have a back-up anyway, and only $50....... QUOTE(Tdskip @ Mar 3 2020, 09:36 AM) Oh crud. Not to give you a hard time but that is usually a fried unit. Could just be a bad one from the factory but... Hope you get it sorted out and please do keep us posted. Weird, sounds like manufacturing defect. |

Might want to ohm out your coil.

I am late to the party here, but I have used the HOT SPARK. It ran for about 30000 miles then got a hiccup. Pulled it and put another on.... It has gone 20000 miles and no problem. Hot spark has some voltage suggestions that you should dig into and verify that you are under. Their directions walk you right thru it. I keep a spare hotspark in my trunk. Like you said.... only $50.
Below is a link to my HICCUP thread. Thanks to TimND suggesting to use the timing light. My hot spark hiccup I ended up using a ballast resistor and some upgraded cool paste under the module to keep it cool. Like I said, all has been well since. |
