Re: Is electronic conversion a simple drop in?
Ok, I'm doing this from memory, if you have access to a wiring diagram this may help you understand:
On the plus side + small terminal of the coil, you have 2 wires. When you turn on the key, one wire is for ignition only (Run), it is the resistor wire having less then 12volts. This resistor wire Plus + (Run/ignition), goes from the key, thru the shift interrupter (I believe) to the coil, this is the one that needs to be replaced with a switched full 12volts to feed the Pertronics ignitor.
The other wire has a full 12volts for starting/cranking only, energized when you twist the key to crank/start, (it is dead all other times).
On the other side of the coil the negative - terminal, one wire feeds the Tachometer, and one wire feeds the distributor (Run/ignition), irregardless of the coils incoming voltage, (don't touch these).
I hope this is clear enough? Good luck, Mike
