Subject:Pertronix question
From:puzerewski
Date:Sat, 9 Dec 2000 18:10:15 -0500

Just installed 050 dizzy from bus depot.  Switched out the points to a used set of pertronix that I had in an 009.  (this was the dizzy that came with my 2 liter).  

The little ring and magnets came apart.  I put it back together carefully, but get no fire on the #1 wire.  ( kinda hard to use a timing light without it) .  What could be wrong? It was running on 3 cylinders.

I put the points and condenser back, and no fire at all (used the grounded plug method to check.  What is up?????

TIA
