<div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false">Let me suggest changing out the Pertronix coil with a gold Lucas Sport Coil, 3 ohms resistance. Pertronix has had a few coil failures--including mine, which failed on my Healey 100. And especially with the Pertronix ignition, be sure your grounds are all good and battery connections secure, as a bad ground will blow the module on these. </div><div><br></div>
