1200GXman,

Please let me know about the ballast resistor?

Rezlo,

Thanks for the heads up, glad to see someone agrees with my "It's red and shines" theory about a high output coil. Had a chat with a clubmans racer over the weekend, he suggest a VW Bosch coil, majority of the clubmans racers use those, as it doesn't cause problems, they are running highly tuned motors in the 140-160kw range.

sparkyza1,

Is it possible to explain more in detail what you did.
Any wiring diagrams and part numbers will help.

Going to install Pertronix Ignitor to my A14.

I have a few questions?

Heard a few people saying that the standard coil will be good.
Others say the ballast resistor need to be removed as it is only there to reduce volts to around 8v for the points.
Others have stated that you need a electronic ignition coil.

Who to believe? Any better help than these okes?

Pertronix suggest using there coil, well 40 000 Volts sounds good and it shines, but what is the real performance increase on a mild tuned motor? If you search around forums, everyone says MSD Blaster 2, but no one can actually state the pros & cons of a high performance/volt coil. It seems that people heard MSD is good and use it as a "I have a MSD coil, it is red and shines, your one is silver and dull" kind of approach.

Can someone state the real reason for using a high output coil and what the benefits is to a mild tuned motor?

Try another set of spark leads, had a issue like that 2 weeks ago, replaced the coil and all, was better, but after a lead change the old toyota was running like a new one.

The ZA team is growing, waiting for a update from Andos, will get in touch after it.

Thanks a lot for the heads up, will pm him know and let you know if he is fine with it. This will really help a lot and save time.

In my case, cheap power means, get the front suspension sorted, a lot of time is wasted thru the standard front suspension on my 1400 ute than thru the motor.

Thanks alot for the info.

thx, will start sourcing a set in SA to use for designing autocad drawings of camber/caster plates.

Does anyone perhaps have some drawings?
