murre, The Stromberg e-Fire manual states that copper or solid core high tension leads should not be used yet the unit you have removed from a customers car has wire leads. Also important that the primary resistance of the ignition coil be not less than 1.5 ohms. What is the resistance of the HOT coil used in that set up ? Very important that the e-fire unit is set up exactly as the book outlines. Near enough is not good enough and can lead to failures very quickly. All ground cables in the car must be spot on as well. The 6 volt positive ground unit is wired a little differently to the 12 volt unit. Regards, Kevin.
