[Healeys] Pertronix Polarity Change

"... Do I have to do anything more to the distributor than installing a negative ground module in place of the positive ground one?"


Call Pertronix tech support.  They've always been knowledgeable and helpful for me.  But, the answer is likely no.


Don't forget to swap the leads on your coil, assuming they are correct now.

After a bit of practice on the donated piece  I worked out I could do a series of short, basically tack welds without any brunthrough.  It looked like shit when I was done, but it ground down nicely without distortion.  Some hammer and dolly work and the repair should be invisible.
