Pertronix Ignitor III + NO SPARK issues

jackcarter1971Member

Hey Folks:

I installed a Pertronix Ignitor III and corresponding Flamer Thrower III coil on my 1971 Pantera. The car was running fine before. But now, it WILL NOT start. There does not seem to be ANY spark at all. It turns over, but does not fire. I am getting 10.20 volts across the coil with the ignition on. I have tried the coil with the ballast resistor removed and with it connected, and NO SPARK.
Do you folks have any suggestions for testing, fixing on known bug, etc. That could get me out of this jam, short of putting the old points set up back in and sending the CRAP back to Pertronix for a refund.

Let me know.

Best jack C
