Like I say I tried with and without....
I have had a look inside the dizzy and it does not seem to have the plastic ring with the magnets on that I have seen.... Will need to ask about this methinks That would explain a lot !

Hi Richard and Rob,
Electronic ignitions are not hooked up as conventional ignition circuits, here is a typical Pertronix set up. http://www.geocities.ws/a65ragtop/VM...ertronix_4.jpg

Yes, you must have the plastic collar that fits neatly on the breaker cam. The one in the Pertronix kit for my Dodge was a little loose so I used some aluminium tape to build up the cam.
As I recall there was no gap specified between the collar and the pickup so it can't be critical. David

Spoken with the shop, the kit I have does not need the mag wheel, it works off the distance from the lobes on the drive.
I have confirmed my wiring with the shop and it's correct....... Looks like I will be pulling the kit off and sending it down for a check :-( delays delays delays I will crack on with other bits and bobs in the interim

Right.... Re did all the earths, put a plug in the coil HT and bingo it pulses...
So from that I guess the module in the dizzy was working (as the plug was pulsing) One thing I didn't check was wear on the dizzy cap, so I put a spot of marker on each terminal and ran the engine over a few times, no apparent contact ! So I am guessing the cap is the culprit ? The leads are all new as is the rotor, the cap is an old one.... So my spidey senses are leaning towards that at the moment Either that or the module is out of phase...

Well the ignition system came back from Royal Kustoms today, a big thank you to Jim Turnbull who turned the job around in one day for me..... The problem was with a faulty rotor. So new rotor and new cap was added
I plumbed the thing back together and juiced her up..... Here is the very first start up.... I had to prime the carb a few times, but she started after a couple of turns.....not bad for my first one ! I still need to tune everything in etc but will do some reading before I twiddle. And I noted a faint wisp of smoke coming from the left bank water outlet on the head... Hoping that is residual crap that has been lying inside...hoping..... Here is the footage. http://youtu.be/ibyOJuRyrdw
