Hi all, I thought I would mention this one to the list, make sure I am going in the right direction. If I start my tiger and run the RPM's up, My amp meter shows about a 5 Amp charge (until the batte
First check that your ammeter is working at all and that it's wired properly. With the ignition off, turn on the headlights. You should show about 10 amps discharge. The horns should also draw about

I'm pretty sure the Pertronix needs a solid 12 volts. If you are discharging with lights on you may not be getting full 12 to the ignition. Jerry Christopherson 9473187 Hi all, I thought I would ment
That was going to be my suggestion as well I'm pretty sure the Pertronix needs a solid 12 volts. If you are discharging with lights on you may not be getting full 12 to the ignition. Jerry Christophe
The Pertronix will operate fine until it dips below 6 volts. Doug Lyle ________________________________ From: Lynn <cars@wt-inc.com> To: 'Jerry Mo Christopherson' <JCMC2006@suddenlink.net>; 'Tiger Ma
Hi Doug: I talked with Pertronix about a year ago regarding the Ignitor II for my Series 200 Griffith. When I talked with their Tech person, he was telling me that he could not assure the Ignitor II

Thanks Jerry, I suppose I should have looked it up to start with, but I found a troubleshooting sheet from Pertronix that claims 8V is the lower limit. While I think it would be tough to get the volt

Thanks Theo, I didn't think to check what the headlights draw (according to the gauge) when the car isn't running. But that would be a quick way to get a rough calibration on the gauge. I'll have to
Hi Steve, With your Pertronix system, whether or not you use the ballast resistor should depend on the coil you have. If you're using a stock or stock-replacement type of coil then you need to use th
Just thought I would post a followup in case anyone ever has a similar problem and goes searching through the emails. And also to thank people on the board for the help. I checked the ammeter, and it
I use to have the VR points foul and the voltage would drop to battery. I would stop, clear the points in the VR and be on my way until the voltage dropped again. I installed a volt meter so I knew i
