Mike C Posted October 28, 2002 Share Posted October 28, 2002 No. I ran one that way on my last 240 for 7 years. However, if you don't disconnect the coil when doing a compression check, you will cook it then. As usual, learned this the hard way...

Guest non visitor Posted October 29, 2002 Share Posted October 29, 2002 so how did you wire it up? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest non visitor Posted October 29, 2002 Share Posted October 29, 2002 will it destroy my pertronix ignitor, when the ballast resistor is bypassed? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike C Posted October 29, 2002 Share Posted October 29, 2002 I left all of the stock wiring in place, but just moved the wires from the "out" side of the ballast resistor to the "in" side where voltage was 12v. I don't remember exactly, but follow the directions for the ignitor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest non visitor Posted October 29, 2002 Share Posted October 29, 2002 one more thing: what was your plug gap set to? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike C Posted October 29, 2002 Share Posted October 29, 2002 I think I kept it at .035, but you should be able to go as far as .045. But by running .035, it was a LONG time before spark degraded due to excessive gap from electrode wear. I like the Denso non resistor plugs with the U-groove groundstrap for about $1 each.
