[quote="chris"]the resistor maybe your problem. I dont know if that is pertronix that I have specifically, but the resistor was designed to give your car a full 12v+ at start up and taper off eventually to give 6v+ once the car is operational, so as not to fry your points. If you have a problem after the car warms up, but not at start up, ditch the resistor. At bare mimimum it will give the pertronix a full 12v at all times. The only risk you run is that if you have a spike you could fry the pertronix, but as long as you run a regulated 12v for the pertronix there will be no problems. And as a side note check the shaft play in the distributor, and check that the mounting holes in the advance weights have not become ovals, as this will screw your advance curve and cause dropping higher in the advance curve.[/quote]
