Hi guys,
I have just installed the Pertronix Ignitor in the distributor and use the original coil and resistor wire. I prefer to use a 12 V (Flame Thrower) coil and feed it with 12 V. I have found some wires that provide 12 volts when the ignition is on, but not when I crank the engine.
In my Electrical Assembly Manual I can see that from the top of the ignition switch are two wires, the pink resistor wire and a black wire with green band connected to the same terminal. My hope is to find the wire with green band and attach a 12V wire from it to the coil.
Anyone know where I can find the black wire with green band easily accessible under the hood under the hood (I am not an acrobat, and do not want to crawl under the dashboard)?
What do you think about my second hand solution? Installing a 12 V coil, connect the 8-9 V resistor wire AND a 12 V wire to the + terminal on the 12 V coil. When I crank the engine I hope the engine will start using the power from the resistor wire. When the engine is running the coil feeds by the 12 V wire (and the 8-9 V from the resistor wire of course).
Thanks in advance
Eric
