Petronix Electronic Ignition Any Good?

Have you tried to wire it {the coil} directly to the battery? This will let you know if the car still does not get enough juice maybe the coil is bad, It happens. If it starts then maybe you have problems in the wiring. I mean if you test the coil after you go from the battery to the ignition side of the coil. Be careful I don't want to see you damage anything but, that's what I would try. I'm running the flame thrower 3 with its matching coil and have no problems. I am also running a mechanical advance. I'm not sure if it makes a difference. MIKE
