Reply to "Pertronics install"

One of the issues with a Pertronix is that it is recommended to use a full switched 12v source. In a Ford car of the same era, If you test the wire connected to the coil AND connected to the Pertronic module with engine off, the voltage tests only about 5-6 volts. You'll note that Pertronix claims the units will operate from 6-16 VDC, so the car's voltage is right on the low end of the scale. I'm assuming a Pantera is the same (??). I've seen cars run for years that way with no problem, others have issues with the low voltage. Did a 72 car have a carb solenoid, I don't see it on the prints I have. That would be a good switched source...
