[Healeys] Pertronix Installation

[John Sims]

Look on my site in the Ignition section of the Technical page and you will
see a write up of my installation on a Positive ground car along with
photos. Easy to do.

Help.  I finally purchased the Pertronix electronic ignition to help solve
my
timing issues.  I looking for positive ground installation help.  I am
trying
to figure out the wiring.  The instructions say to "remove the ignition wire
from the neg terminal on the coil and connect that wire to the black wire
from
the Ignitor then connect the blk/wht Ignitor wire to the neg coil terminal"
-
sounds easy.



The instuctions continue... "connect an insulated AWG 20 copper straded wire
from the positive coil terminal to the positive battery terminal or
chassis."
Here is were I'm a little confussed.  There is currently two blk/wht wires
on
the positive terminal of my coil.  One comes from the distributor and the
other one comes from ? (I think the battery switch - I can't read the small
print of my wiring diagram).  I assume the wire from the distributor gets
deleted, the other wire just stays connected to the coil, and the
installation
would be done.  Right?
