Re: Pertronix 40,000 Volt Flame Thrower Coil

[cudaus1 <cudaus1@xxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks guy's for the suggestions.

I spoke with Pertronix today. The tech told me that if I wanted to
keep the ballast resistor, all that I would need to do is run the red
wire from the Ignitor to the ignition side of the ballast resistor. He
said that by doing that the system would still function with the
ballast resistor.

Next question, what side of the resistor is the ignition on looking at
the firewall? Can everyone tell that I don't wrench too much?

Thanks,
