Uh, I think some of that is wrong info.. very confusing to me anyway.
Leave the loop in the stock white wire(or straighten it out) but do NOT
hook it back to the new tach.
That wire goes directly from the ignition switch to the top of the
ballast resistor, needs NO connection
to your new tach.
Your new white wire with spade needs an extension wire going to the low
(negative) side of the
coil where the wire goes to the points (Pertronix).
The +12 green wire needs to plug to the original spade on the back of
the tach.

to Donald Antilla and Ron Fraser for their quick
replies. They have me on the right track now.Â
In my new wiring harness I have one white wire
that comes out of the harness behind the tach
and I assumed it plugged into the white wire
(labeled "signal in") on the back of the tach.Â
My tach was rebuilt by Nisonger and has the
updated electronics. I ohmed that wire out and
it is the one that goes to the ballast
resistor. So should I run a new wire from the
ignition switch to the tach and piggyback the
ballast wire to that?  <o:p></o:p></span></p>

As soon as you release the key that temporary
12 volts is disconnected and the power to the
coil is via the ballast resistor. <br>
It sounds like you either have a bad ballast
resistor or broken wiring to the ballast
resistor. <br>
Temporarily add an alligator jumper across the
two tabs on the resistor and see if it starts.
If it does start you have a bad resistor. <br>
And if that does not work, start looking for
lack of 12 volts INTO. The ballast resistor. <br>

over and fires up. But as soon as I let go of
the key so that it returns to the run position
it dies. It seems like the ignition system is
only getting power when the key is in the

to imply that there should always be 12V on
this wire when the key is in the run
position. Is this correct? I'm only getting
the 12V on this line when the key is in the
start position. <br>
