Pertronix install and testing
Car, '74 911 2.7 CIS with original CDI
I stalled a Pertronix Ignitor 2 model 91867A. I've searched the forum and found some install tips which I followed. The red wire from the Ignitor 2 is connected to the engine bay fuse box to a terminal that is switched on with the ignition, the black wire is attached to the wire that the points were attached to. As pointed out in other posts the rotor does touch the Ignitor magnet which stops the rotor from seating fully, it could go about 0.05" more but doesn't appear to cause and problem with the cap.
Now before I try to start the car I'm trying to static time the distributor with a test light. Not getting the light to light up. I've tried to test for a spark to the light from the points wire (black wire) and at the distributor cap at no. 1 by turning on the ignition and turning the engine over by hand. Any clues to get the ignition to light up the light?
