Hi All, I've recently installed a pertronix electric ignitor system to replace the points in the distributor. I was able to get the truck to start and idle smoothly for about 10 minutes. I took it around the block and it died, since then I haven't been able to get it started. Pulled a spark plug and getting no visible spark. I've double checked all the connections and the grounds. Is anyone running a similar set up? Anyone see something painfully obvious in this picture? Also, hate to think... but could I have caused damage to the harness? 18R-C with new PerTronix coil/ ignitor , new ballast resistor.
First one is a general schematic of the ign system. Second is a full diagram. Third is a different full diagram, 4th is an up close pic of the ign wiring of the second schematic. There are 3 diagrams in the book i have. 2 look like LHD one is clearly labeled RHD so I omitted that one. Hope these help even a little
Hey, just was wondering , I called pertronix and they said they dont have a kit for an 18Rc...obviously they do, my sons truck is a 74, but same engine....hope you get it figured out, wish I knew more about it...
Thinking about tracing this document in Illustrator and getting it nicely color coded. Seems its of great help to many on here!
