Reply to "Pertronix Ignitor III + NO SPARK issues"

Try connecting it to your old coil.

I have to ask, did you install the rotor?

Here is what Pertronix says:


Since I have installed the Ignitor™ the engine won’t start.
What can I check?

The first step in troubleshooting involves answering a few questions.

* Do you have the correct kit for your application?
* Did the Ignitor install without any modification?
* Was the Ignitor installed according to the instructions?
* Did the engine run prior to the installation of the Ignitor?

If you answered "NO" to any of the previous questions, go back and correct the condition before proceeding. If the answer to these questions is “YES”, then review some additional common solutions to a no start condition.

* The position in which the Ignitor red wire is attached to is not supplying sufficient voltage.
* The air gap between the module and magnet sleeve is too great.
* The ground wire inside the distributor is not connected.
* The wire connections are not tight.
* The polarity is not correct.
