1983 911 SC Fireball Issues
I have a 1983 911SC with PMO Carbs using the Fireball XR700 Ignition.For some reason the car started to back fire.I removed the cap and could hear the trigger shorting out, also I could see spark coming from the positive coil.The optical unit is sending a signal to the coil when it shouldn't.Do you think the XR700 is NFG?
Is it possible to use the Pertronix on a 1983 911? Thanks, Dave

Xr700
David,
Can't help with the problems you are experiencing but I can tell you the XR700's are very durable. I had one on my '87 Toyota Land Cruiser for nearly 10 years (salt water spray from beach runs etc) and it never once gave me a problem. I recommend seeing what you can do to isolate the issue before you replace parts. Best of luck, Gordo
