Thanks for the information re coils the Pertronix and the need for a ballast
resistor on my Series V. I recieved the pertronix today (Thanks Curt). The
litrature with it says that the coil should have a resistance of at least 3
ohms . My coil is non original and by my meter has a resistance of about 3.6
Ohms. I therefore installed it without a ballast resistor. As every one has
said very easy installation and I think it does run better. However one tiny
glitch- will start well from rest but if I attempt to re-start it soon (less
than 1 min) after switch off it behaves like the battery is flat ie very
laboured starter motor turn over for first few turns then fires ok. Leave it
for a minute after switch of and it restarts sweetly. What gives? Battery is
new. Earth strap ok
Is this a symptom of low voltage or do still I need an external ballast
resistor.
Thanks
Karl
