pertronix upgrade?

[926bill]

Thanks Spare, pulled the dist the tag says prestolite IBM 7026A 6J. Contacted Pertronix but won't hear from them untill tommorow or later. Can't find a part in their catalog to match that number. We'll see.

Thanks. BC

somebody swapped that distributor in there, while you have teh point plate out, go ahead and check the weights and springs, make sure the roto will rotate on the advance shaft.

Will do.

Thanks BC

The resistor wire runs from the coil to the electric choke. Do I cut this out and replace? Since the distributor is not origional I'll do a voltage check today. Here is a diagram that might help someone else out.

Thanks again BC

follow the wire from the coil up the harnes, you'll find a point in the wire where it either has a small piece of heat shrink or a hard single starnd wire, you can cut it here adn splice it up side of the resistor, or you can just tie it in anywhree in the harness wheres there is a purple wire and eliminate the resistor wire.

I've cut the whole harness apart and can't find anything! This set up is a 1983 v20 -470 mercruiser, any help?

it would have to been on the purple wire from the coil, it may have been just a short piece of hard wire in the harness
