Hi folks.
I've removed the points and installed the Pertronix Ignitor 1. I've got it hooked up but 2 things are happening (or aren't). First, when I connect the + side of the battery and rub the wrench against the car while tightening, I get a little *zap* and spark action. It's hooked up, lights work, engine turns so I assume this to be a normal occurrence? Negative is hooked up too so the circle is complete.
Now, engine turns over but there is clearly no spark happening.
I've got 2 wires that lead from the Pertronix, the red going to the + on the coil and the - going to the negative on the coil. On the points I removed, there was only 1 wire (+). Can someone tell me if the black wire is in fact supposed to go to the - terminal on the coil (makes sense to be but then again...)
