If it runs right it is right - use your gut feelings, not theoretical scribble. This cannot be diagnosed via www

Looking at fitting an AccuSpark electronic ignition. You tube videos make it look ridiculously easy, is it really that simple, a couple of screws and recheck the timing? www.youtube.com/watch?v=2lcx_Qr0KyM |

It's just a Pertronix clone. There's lots on the market. Here's another version from Hotspark. I fitted one of these to my daughters 66 XT Ford Falcon years ago. Still running well. A fraction of the cost of the 2 above. www.hot-spark.eu/m.youtube.com/watch?v=AbPLFHZJNX4With any of these modules check the primary resistance of the coil (note the instructions) and also the voltage going to the coil with the engine running. I think from memory you don't want any more than 14.5v The voltage on some cars ((generator or alternator) is higher when running... don't guess measure it using your multi meter. If so fit an inline ballast resistor to knock it down. If not, the module overheats and cuts out. Applies to all versions. Guess how I know this!  |

I'll check the voltage.
Had a look at the Hotspark, with postage it's only a couple of dollars cheaper than the Melbourne one.
