All I ever hear is how reliable they are for all cars in replacing points. But I'm on my third one now (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) , now when trying to get the motor running after my rebuild , it looks like the current one I have is not working again.
I got spark when we bypass the coil with a test kit , I have a Bosch igniter coil that tested good, the plugs are all on the right cylinders...so the only thing left is the Pertronix not working again right? Are there any other options to electronic ignition? Is there something with the 914 set up that these things don't like? Or is it just my motor?
