Herb, please don't take this as a shot at you(i know you meant that as a gentle jab) but I'm not looking for more ways to spend money, just to get what I already have working.
I know a lot of guys love the Pertronix setups, but I don't. I know several people locally that have them and it seems 50/50 as far as results. Half have no trouble and half have no thing but.
I prefer the Mopar setup mainly because replacement parts are usually at any parts store. This the first car out of literally dozens that has given me these kind of fits.

Subject: Voltages in a 64 Polara
Group,
I'm having some kind of electrical issue with my 64 Polara convertible(again). I'm looking for some kind of reference that will tell me what voltages I should have at each connection in the bulkhead connector and the engine wiring with Mopar electronic ignition.
It has a brand new coil, ignition box x3(2 used & a new) and distributor x3(last one was straight out of the box) but won't run.
If you put a timing light on a wire, it shows inconsistent spark. Spark coming out of the coil is orange, not a hot blue.
Today, just to rule out a timing problem, like a jumped chain, I tossed in a points dizzy hot-wired to the battery. Fired up and ran fine.
Thanks for any help in advance!
Mark
