I believe resistors are not used when you are using a Pertronix. Otherwise,=
yes.=20

Don`t confuse. There is no ballast resistor in the wiring of any Austin-Hea=
ley. Ballst resistors in coil wiring were invented in the 1970s.=20
The coil should have 3 Ohm primary resistance.=20

Sounds like a faulty coil or a bad/broken wire somewhere. Also check the en=
gine earth strap and battery switch and connections. What coil have you fit=
ted. If the ballast resistor (wire) is still in place it should be a 12V ca=
. 1,5 Ohm coil to be used with a resistor or a 12V ca. 3Ohm coil to be used=
without resistor.=20

Was our driving a while back, engine purring, and suddenly she shut down. L=
et it sit for a while and she would start and run for a while--then shut do=
wn again. I tried many fixes which I will list below. Several times after t=
he fixes she went for miles and miles and I thought I had "fixed" it. Nope-=
----yesterday----it was AAA tow time once again (3 times this year).=20
The last 2 shutdown times came when she was idling waiting for a light or f=
or a car to pass.=20
So here is what I have tried: * new coil * new voltage regulator * new fuel=
pump * New ignition switch * Blew out the fuel lines * pulled float bowls =
and cleaned them (no debris inside) * Pulled the distributor plate out and =
cleaned and oiled it * disconnected the wire leading from the battery cutof=
f switch to the coil. * bypassed the entire battery cutoff switch * replace=
d the Pertronix with a new one * checked all the sparkplug wires to make su=
re they were on properly * replaced the distributor rotor *Replaced the dis=
tributor cap . * checked the small ground wire inside the distributor to ma=
ke sure it was attached properly.=20
All this----and STILL o joy. I'm really out of ideas at this point. If anyo=
ne has any ideas for me to check please share them.=20
