Having fun with my engine right now. Went to a Blaster 2 coil and WAS running Petronix. Guy at FLAPS told me I dont need a resistor inline with the coil. 30 minutes after the install, *poof* no spark. Figured out that the Petronix was dead by the smell coming from the dizzy. So I backdate to points on the side of the road and add a resistor. I got the gap nice and close, and set the timing by ear. Car reads a lot hotter on the oil temp guage now. So I check the dwell angle and timing. Dwell is at about 50 deg. at idle BUT goes down to about 40 at higher rpm. I proceed to check timing. Set it at 27 deg. and let the car return to idle and it dies. I gave the dizzy a nudge to advance it just a bit, start it back up and it idles LOW. Has NO bottom end power, and has about 1500rpm of power up high. If I give it any more advance, it pings. I am running good gas, so its not that. Still runs really hot. About 240deg on the oil temp, where it was reading about 180-190deg. before. I am really trying to figure out why I cant get it to run good now! Anything I should check out? I have checked the basics, but its not working!


SIDENOTE

My car ran like a bat outta hell before I went to the blaster coil. Ran even better with that in there until the Petronix burned up. It isnt my FI at all as far as I know. I had a really good idle quality, and great power all the way up to 5500rpm.
