crimedawg,
In your first question, you have part of the answer.
Quote "I was able to check the coil wire at the cap when it failed to start and did not get a spark" unquote.
Check the condition of all the wires to the Permatune unit. You are looking for any old crispy wires particularly at the connectors.
Remove the connectors and clean the tabs on the permatune unit.
Check the 12 volt power and the ground wire.
Anything under 12 volts is not good enough.
Check the wires at the distributor and coil. Again remove clean and replace if suspect.
Original wires to the Permatune, distributor and coil should be replaced. 26 or 27 year old wires if not failing yet are getting ready to fail. Replace 'em.
Try another primary wire from the coil to the distributor. At least check the one you have.
If all wires check out OK, I think Mr Permatune is history.
