Didn't you have instructions? I'd go check for you, but my teener's in a storage barn 2 miles from here and it's dark out.

Check the air gap between the pickup and the magnet (that's what the little clear piece of plastic was for that came with the unit). Make sure the magnet and the pickup line up properly. When I forgot to install the spacer plate under the pickup unit, the car wouldn't even start because the pickup didn't line up with the magnet.

Dumb question...you did reset your timing, right? I'm assuming you had to remove your distributor to put the Pertronix in.
