Well,

Finally got some time to spend on this and stil no joy[xo]

I have bought a new GT40r coil and wired it all up with a ballast resistor on the positive wire going to the coil.

I have measure voltage at the positive side of coil and get 12volts with ignition on and 7volts when starter is engaged.

I am starting to think maybe it might be the pertronix kit or just me having no clue.[8~2]

I will test to see if I am getting a spark from the iginition leads too.

Any ideas?

Very frustrating.

Matt

Matt,
sorry to bring up an old thread, but did you ever get this going?
 
I too ran through the same issues and had to admit defeat also so would be keen to hear if you discovered a resolution....?
 
Thanks,
Kieran

Ive had the same issues as yourself and have tried to go through the motions of pin pointing the issue but with no luck. Ive tried different coils to even getting a Bosch Blue coil to see if this may rectify the issue. Not such luck. I even tried another unit, still no spark. So there must be something happening with the car/wiring which i will need to try and nut out. The engine conversion was already done when i got the car so when i have the engine out again soon ill see if i can sort it out.
 
If you ever do find the issue, id be keen to hear what it is so i have an idea of where to start looking!
 
Cheers,
Kieran
