<p class=MsoNormal><font size=4 face=Arial><span style='font-size:13.0pt;
font-family:Arial'>Many thanks to all who responded to my question regarding my
Pertronix ignition. I’ve been out of town lately and unable to
devote time to the problem. I have checked for loose connections and
found none, but I will check further.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><font size=4 face=Arial><span style='font-size:13.0pt;
font-family:Arial'>Many of the responses dealt with the ballast resistor.
In my installation, the resistor has been removed in accordance with the recommendation
in the Pertronix II instructions. It was always my understanding that
resistors were used to enhance the life of breaker points, while the coils
would tolerate a continuous 12 volts without issue. There seems to be
disagreement on this (possibly because “we’ve always done it this
way”), but I may reinstall the resistor for the coil input but not for
the module.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
