Subject: [TR] Pertronix Ignition
=20
Hi,
=20
Last week to solve a very worn distributor issue on our negative ground =
TR4A, we replaced:
=C2=B7 the distributor body and vacuum advance using NOS Lucas =
parts
=C2=B7 points etc. with Pertronix Ignitor
=C2=B7 Lucas Sports coil with Pertronix Flame Thrower
=20
The distributor cap, plugs and wires are all fairly recent.
=20
After the install, the car ran incredibly better =E2=80=A6 for about 100 =
miles.
=20
Then it completely lost power and we coasted to the side of the road of =
course in a rural location just before dark and 20 miles from the ferry =
dock. It would crank but not fire. Diagnosis revealed fuel in the =
float bowls but no spark. Not having any parts with me, we floated it =
home via CAA.
=20
The next morning, acting on advice from my mechanic, I tried a new rotor =
and this which made no difference. Subbing in the Lucas Sports coil, it =
fired right up. So the Pertronix coil has failed and they have agreed =
to replace it under warranty.
=20
I=E2=80=99d be interested in hearing other experiences with this setup. =
Pertronix advises I can run with the Lucas coil as long as it is at =
least 3.0 ohms. As the Sports coil is 3 ohms, I appear to be good, but =
am concerned about frying another coil. Obviously, I won=E2=80=99t =
travel without a spare.
=20
Comments?
=20
Cheers,
=20
Brian
