Reply to "Pertronix Ignitor III + NO SPARK issues"

Latest update. Finally got hold of a real person at Pertronix, it took, 8 phones, and 2 emails and 6 days. That said, they sent a new ignitor 3 module over night, which was nice. But i think the real problem with the ignitor 3 and corresponding flamethrower coil, is that they basically do not work with any voltage that is below 12v. I found a good site that discusses this, see url below;
http://theamcforum.com/forum/n...10306_post87223.html
I ended up wiring a direct 12 gauge line from the battery, using a relay, triggered from the original ignition switch line. It worked well and got the ignitor and coil the solid 12v that they need to work.
That and the ignitor plate that fits inside the stock motorcraft dizzy, needs to be shimmed (up) a little, to make sure the magnetic sensor lines up with the cam and thus works.
Net Net, a simple setup that is not quite sorted from the factory. But works well in the end, once you solve the mysterious of installation, yourself.
