Is this a pertonix ignitor?
Did you check for the required voltage and resistance?

yes my son has one and bring it over. Do we have to have a special coil....we used a regular coil that was on the car I believe when we changed to the electronic ignition. Nothing special just a 12 volt. Somewhere we read it needs to have 3 oms not sure of spelling is that a special coil

First of all you have another thread talking of changing the battery polarity.
Have you done this yet?
What pertronics unit (polarity) do you have?
What specific coil do you have?
Get these answers and we can proceed.

we had a short and we were going to change to negative but decided against it. My car is finally running again. Had to replace distributor cap and rotor. Also had the generator rebuilt. So with all the new parts I should be all set for a while. Thanks to everyone for your help as usual.
