Hi Scott,
Sounds good. Can see the issue with a max 28v input as I'm on 28.8v at mid RPM. I can also see the rationale in Bobs comments about a clean steady input voltage so would an acceptable solution be to put in a quality voltage drop resistor to drop the input voltage by ~4v to provide a safety margin if it is still required.
You'll hate this
but just done some numbers on my system (as I can't actually measure the voltages despite....) and I get 13.2v (calculated) at the input to the radio suppressor with the full pertronix kit. My actual resistances are Ballast 4.6, Suppressor .9, Pertronix coil 3, input voltage 28.8, cumulative ign cct resistance 8.5 Ohm, calc Ign load 3.39 Amp.
Using exactly the same process with my Mil components ie 6 Ohm for the coil gives a calculated 17.3v at the input to the suppressor, which is the voltage commonly referred to. Any chance that this is actually (physically) correct using the full kit????
Whilst you are on-line, did you manage to sort out the tyre inflation kit?
