Listers,
I've been calling around to get a new electronic ignition for my 77B
for a while and have talked to Moss twice. They sell the Crane and
Petronics (sp?). Anyway, both times I have asked if the Petronics is
for ballasted or un-ballasted systems and the person I talked to was
unsure. I know the Crane is for un-ballasted, but could someone
answer the simple question of whether or not the Petronics is for
ballasted or un-ballasted systems? Both times I have pushed for an
answer I get, "I believe it is un-ballasted like the Crane." Not
really trying to hack Moss. I usually get decent answers, but this
time I'm a little confused.
Also, I'm replacing a Pirana (if you remember my ignition woe's from
the past couple weeks). Can someone tell me if this was for ballasted
or un-ballasted systems? I know one way to find out is to check the
voltage at the coil after starting the car, but I can't do that right
now, and I had not done it previously. I've gone through the wiring,
but it is a bit of a mess so I'm still unsure if the system is
ballasted as original or not.
As always, thanks in advance. I'm sure some of you get frustrated
with first timers, but I appreciate the advice.
Tom
77B (weather getting nicer so maybe she'll stop being mad at me and
start this week)
