indeed. that relapse will like happen next time i start the car. and yeah got a bunch of wire replacing to do. every time i reach under the dash something different flickers. ha! i jumped the ballast by just replacing it with a wire between the two connectors

so it turns out the culprit was in fact voltage. after digging around my fuse box i jump in the car to go buy myself a dual connector(to wire the coil from a new 12v power source) and the car feels good. real good. so i give it full throttle just out of morbid curiosity and no break up what so...

i went and pulled the dist out and rotated it with no success. all i got were hardish knocks big backfires and no start. i think i may have tried every possible position. so i put it back to how it was. after adjusting the timing the thing has shown improvement, idle is nice, revs are pretty...

i do. i'll try hoping onto that and seeing what happens. thanks, man!

toolman, yup my ignition was way out. about 25 degrees advanced actually. so now i'm trying to return to zero and the best i can get is about 15 degrees advance based on the existing dot. any thoughts on getting this thing to zero? is this where folks will pull the distributor and rotate it a notch?

which switched line did you go to? i see some guys will go directly to the ignition switch but not sure where/what that is.

66fyssh, did you run a new wire from the flamethrower to a 12v switched circuit?

thanks again everyone. i'll get into my timing and see what happens. will post results. jp

is it at all possible that the electronic ignition improved vacuum just enough to introduce me to a carb problem i didn't know i had?

thanks, trail beast. i do have the flame thrower coil that came with the ignitor so i think i'm good there? after i jumped the ballast it did seem to wake it up a little which is nice, but now at wot the thing goes limp on me. feels ok up to about 3k revs then it reaches a consistent...

forgot to mention, when i put the pedal to the floor and let off it also feels like it gets stuck at wot for a second. anyone ever experience that?

happy new year folks, question for anyone running an ignitor 2. i installed my kit per instructions, gapped it, etc, but now my car feels sedated. its starts and runs but just a little worse. with points my cold start was sharp within a few cranks. with the pertronix it's a harder start, little...

thanks dartman. i have to assume it's not present then. i've been under that dash a lot lately and the only thing coming out of my steering column is that little bundle of wires, none of which are purple.

gents, can't find any threads on this exactly so here we go. anyone ever add reverse lights to a 65 v-100, 225, auto 3 speed column shifter? new sockets and bulbs installed, the purple wire goes from the bulbs to the connector behind the driver side kick panel but it ends there. no wire meets...

problem solved! went through all my wires again from the plug back. all terminals tested out properly but i still couldn't get the lights to function properly. added an extra ground but that didn't solve it. turns out that after i tested the wires the first time i must have slipped the socket...

thanks, folks. i suspect a ground issue and especially now that i see your feedback. i'll try adding one to the housing and see what happens. btw it's a 65 valiant and yup, got the wire diagram. i'll report back.

anyone got the fix up their sleeve? headlights work, tail lights work, right rear signal works, right rear brake light works. left rear tail light works but left rear signal and brake lights don't work. both front signals work. so to put it simpler. all my lights work except rear left...
