I reinstalled the Pertronix ignition and the engine runs but much less well than with the points ignition, there are misfires.
It is not a module in the distributor but a complete box. It doesn't change anything about the switched +12V, I connected the electric choke to the same wire and it's an error because the box indicates an error code "switched 12V low". I am going to redo the wiring with a large section wire dedicated to the switched + 12V of the Pertronix box and another for the choke.
The two wires which transmit the signal from the igniter to the box run parallel to the high voltage wire between the coil and the distributor, I think this is also an error and I will modify the routing and put twisted wires between the igniter and the box .
I will also replace the old copper spark plug wires with "Pertronix" wires and route them neatly on supports, at the moment they are not fixed and there may be cross fires.
When everything is done properly I think it will go much better.
