PERTRONIX IGNITION - IN A SERRIES INSTALLED AN NOT WORKING

[Bartman]

is your tacho a factory one? Or after market? Most aftermarket ones use a feed from the neg terminal of the coil. he factory ones use the "loop" feed style. If by installing this kit you're disconecting that factory loop, it'll never go. (Kinda hard to say without seeing it.

its factory rev counter (dash out of the coupe sunnys) they just plug straight in..id like to have that going instead of some other tacho sitting sumwhere

[Bartman]

have you touched any of the wires to your balast resistor?

[sunny79datto]

yea but only added the red wire from the pertronix to the igniton side of it. because thats what the instructions say to do apart from that all the factory wires are in the same place attached to what their ment to be

Andrew,
We are familiar with a shift light on factory datsun tachometers. Does your tachometer hook to coil negative or coil positive? I think positive but I want to be sure.
