[Healeys] Ignition condenser fault

[John Sims]

Just don't forget that the Pertronix units are polarity sensitive. For
installation on a positive ground car, see the Ignition section on the
Technical page of my site. I installed one several years ago and love it.

For your second question, my ground strap is connected to frame at a
location opposite from the transmission bell housing where you should see a
nut welded on the frame. The other end is attached to the bell housing at
the bolt nearest the frame. I'll send a photo if this is not clear.

Speaking electronics:  I have two questions; 1.  I want to change to an
electronic system such as Petronix or the XR-700.
I have had one tech-type tell me there is too much voltage generated by
Petronix that may cause problems later on.  Any experience with this?
2.  Where does the engine ground cable mount?
Thanks,  bill
