69 Coil Wire Issue

[crossboss]

There were GM transitor ignition set ups but I do not think anyone repops them are the originals are unobtainable price wise.

Yes, correct very rare. This is why I did not mention them. I believe 'Most' were installed on Corvettes and some race versions. Weren't they also used on tach drive set ups(?).

One way to compensate for the resistance in the car's primary wire is to buy a coil with less primary resistance eliminating any re-wiring.

The pertronix pickup needs to be used with the correct ignition coil resulting in the correct resistance in the primary circuit. A pertronix technician will be able to guide you in choosing the right coil.

If memory serves me, I had to replace a 3 ohm Mallory coil with a 1.5 ohm coil in my stock 68 but then my memory kinda sucks these days.
