I just changed the spark plugs after 7 years from my mechanic when i pulled them they were Bosch Platinum ( a no no for our cars) so i replaced them with Bosch wr7cc. I also changed the distributor cap, rotor, (cables were in great conditions). I also connect a Oil Pressure gauge and a CHT Gauge (connected it to cylinder 3).
The car has a Pertronix IgnitorI. The old Coil had a resistor on top. I replaced it with a Bosch blue Coil. when I reconnected the cables the car would not start.
I think what happen was I connected the Positive black wire from the ignition to the negative side of the coil.
When I reconnected:
Red cable from the Pertronix to + of coil
all black cables to Negative of coil
REWIRED to ( after reading some post)
Red cable from the Pertronix to + of coil
Solid Black cable to + of coil
Black cable with purple strip to negative of coil Tach cable
Black cable from Pertronics to Negative of Coil
Did I Fried the Pertronix Ignitor. I tested the coil after re wired and with the ignition on it gives me i think 12v. Is there any way to test the pertronix to see if it is fried if it is I want to buy the Pertronix IgnitorII I went to there website and they have many which model to i get
