I didn't know I had electronic ignition before I ordered the pertronix parts. I didn't pull the dist cap before I installed the pertronix coil to see if i had points...I assumed I had points. I'm guessing when I bypassed the ballast resistor like pertronix instructions say and I left the stock mopar electronic ignition installed I may have fried my orange box because I was an idiot and tried to start it that way. I put it all back to stock with the coil and ballet resistor. It won't start now. I get no spark at the plug. The gap on the thing inside the distributor is 008.
How many ohms resistance should the ballast resistor read? The one on the car reads 17-19 now. The new one I just bought reads 7.
The wire that gets power that plugs into the electronic ignition box (oranage box) reads just over 11 volts.
Does this seem right?
