I don't think you should have a neg from coil to battery the neg has to be broken to create a spark.

I just google imaged ignition system and there are no images of the neg on the coil going to the battery, as I said before it is the neg being broken that creates the spark.

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
