pertronix upgrade?

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?

[spareparts]

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

Got it hooked up today and she runs like a champ. Starts instantly,that's what I was looking for. Thanks to everyone. Going out in the morning for some lake Erie walleye.
