Pertronix III set up

Splice everything into one if you are going to use the original coil + wire(s). Sounds like the brown goes back to the "start" circuit. Make sure. Hook your meter to the brown and twist the key to "start." if it comes up battery voltage sounds like it is so There is at least one wire at the ballast you don't need I detailed that above. It went to the original OEM box.

Look at the diagram you posted. J4 going from ballst to OEM box is not used

J3-13BR(own) looks like the coil wire

F5-18B(lac)K is not used it was the OEM coil NEG

The two connections at the left side of the ballast in the diagram are essentially jumpered together, as "one"

So jumper those two to the coil brown and hook the old coil brown as power wire to the new Pertronix

To get rid of everything completely couldn't I just follow all of the ballast wires and eliminate them from the harness along with the factory ignition box and all of its wiring and all I would have to do is run that wire that is hot in the start position which was the brown one to the positive side of the coil.
