Default Re: Needing Assistance -Fifty 8BA- Running Issue

The wire inside the distributor is not used with the pertronix. The igniter wires replace it. The original problem occurred with pertronix installed.

Did you jumper from the battery to the coil, or use another power source? Is this a 12V neg ground or 6V pos ground system?


Pulling out the choke can help with fuel delivery problems. Try it next time the car acts up.


I would try trouble shooting the problem in the driveway. Let the engine warm up and increase the rpms to see if you get a miss or the engine cuts out. If it acts up, check the spark to see if it is breaking down.
