Convert Proform ignition to Pertronix?
tx slowswinger. Yes indeed. I plan on a pertronix flamethrower, which runs constantly at 12v. The car currently has a coil that uses a ballast resistor (so the points don't burn) i.e. gets 6v while running, 12v while cranking. Strangely, the Proform needs/uses a ballast plus coil - despite no points!
In case anyone is not familiar with the Jensen CV8, photo below of my Mk2. Only a few hundred made, the US influence went further than the engine (which I believe was "cop spec" @ 330bhp). I've had it now for 40 years, got it as a wreck when I was a student.
Not an A-body, so I hope you don't mind me posting in your forum, which I have found most helpful.
