Pertronix Question

[mwlynch3]

Hey folks,

I tried to install the Pertronix Ignitor today. I am trying to get rid of the points. However, after installing it, and going over every step in detail. The Bronco would not start. I also installed a new coil, also from Pertronix. I tried reinstalling it. Nothing.

Then I put the points back in it and it fired right up. So I have the new coil in there and I do notice a difference with engine response and power. But I have no idea what I did wrong on the Ignitor. I really would like to install it...

What the heck am I doing wrong?

Thanks,
Mike

Thats odd, I wonder if you got a bad part? That is a cut n dry conversion, points out, ignitor in. I did it on my FE 390 and no issues at all. Maybe Call Pertronix and ask them.

x2. I installed on in my '73 a zillion years ago and I remember it taking something like 1/2 an hour or less and just being a couple of wires.

make sure that you ordered the correct year for your bronco i did the same upgrade to mine and had the same problem! Turns out i had gotten the wrong Pertronix kit for and earlyier year than what i needed do to the 75 bronco 302 i put in my 71 bronco. good luck!
