I've got a few questions for you experts. I'm installing a Pertronix in my 1974 TVR (TR6 motor).
1. Is it okay to use the Lucas Super Coil? It seems to read 3.0 ohms which means it should be okay.
2. My coil has two leads on the + side of the coil. I can't find (see) a ballast resistor, but the voltage reading at this point is 9.3v with the ignition on, about 8.6v while cranking, and 12.2v once started. Does this sound normal? Both wires are the same color, a greasy beige. I can't really trace them without an enormous amount of work.
3. Do you think I can hook up the Pertronix as is?
Thanks in advance!
