I started the convert to Pertronix electronic ignition this weekend and have stumbled. I thought it would be easy - Haaa.
The car has a Korman motor and the distributor is not believed to be stock. Its part number 0-231188 - 002. Pertronix support stated that i need Ignitor #2842 and that is what i am using.
I installed it into the distributor and it lines up correctly. When i go to start the car, it would not start. The manual states that the coil must be 3ohm. I have a red coil and its 1.5 ohm. I pulled out an old black bosch from a long gone 914 that i had. It was 3 ohm. I istalled that and nothing. I tried jumpering the coil directly to the battery and that did not help either.
How do i know if i have a ballast resistor? Any ideas what to check?
I would love to get this back on the road before snow and salt hit for a few more drive. Your help will be appreciated.
