Here's the deal.
It's 85 deg ambient. Oil temp 100c. Last of 10 AX runs. Wide guts in 2nd and.....backfire...black smoke, flames out the exhaust....cool. No spark. Sumthin in the ignition went poof. NO warning Whatcha think? MSD (it was hot to the touch) Pertronix (got a spare) Coil? Cap & rotor are OK. Magnetic Pertronix thingy on the dizzy is ok. I let the thing cool down for 3 hours, but no joy......permanent daid. |

I doubt I can help you much but here is my best shot. I had a Pertronix fail, but the car wasn't running. I had the ignition in the on mode without the engine running. I've heard they don't like that. After leaving it on, the ignition was dead, FI fuel pump ran. I'm not sure if I missed something but I thought you said you had a spare. I suspect you already did this and I just missed it but have you tried the new Pertronix? After my experience it would be my first thing to trouble shoot. Here's Pertronix Pertronix I think the MSD unit is pretty tough. Just in case here is a link to their troubleshooting page MSD Dave |
