Reply to "Pertronix Ignitor III + NO SPARK issues"

Yes, i did try hooking up the old coil, with the ballast resistor. I tried every which way you could possibly imagine. I have tested the coil, primiary resistance is around 1.1 and secondary is around 6.50, or so. That seems like it should work, right? The original coil was around 1.4 and 9.00. So def different, but both seem to be within range of what they should.
The pertronix trouble shooting section is pretty lame to say the least. There is nothing for the new ignitor III, specifically. Just the general, follow the instructions type stuff. Which i did and have done before, as I have installed these things on other cars. The kit I have is for a ford V8 single point distributor, which is what I have, the coil was designed to match the III. I have checked the voltage to the coil and it is over 6volts, which is what they say it needs. So it is a mystery... and one that has used up my entire weekend and stopped my car from running. Which is beyond annoying. I honestly can not wait to speak with those clever folks at pertronix on Monday when they get there butts into the office. It is going to be a fun conversation, trust me.
Sorry for the rant... but again, if any one has some pointers, i have a few hours of light, before i have to give up and or get the car towed...
