Everything worked great for about a month and then suddenly a misfire developed at moderate rpm. It went right from working great to misfiring in 1 second.
The distributor weights are advancing the timing as rpm's increase.
I've tried connecting the + wire (red) from the ignitor to both the input for the noise suppressor and the coil itself.
I had a look at the trouble shooting tips on Expedition Imports site. I tried moving the ignitor closer to the magnetic ring.
The problem has not gone away. My thoughts that the condensor wire had something to do with it were wrong, although it did work fine for a short time after disconnecting it. The condensor shouldn't be doing anything at all now anyway, right?
So it would seem that I've either had the new coil or the new ignitor suddenly go bad on me. I'm leaning toward the ignitor.
Is there a way to test it? I guess I'll have to call Pertronix and see what's up.
I also just noticed that the box that the flamethrower coil from the kit (40611) says " High Performance 12VOLT Universal Ignition Coil". Is it ok for 24 volt use?
The ignitor is UM-161.
This conversion kit was supposed to make things more reliable...
Scott at Expedition Imports - any suggestions?
