Read the directions carefully that come with the Pertronics unit. They are sensitive to the ohms of the coil, a coil with low ohms causes a high switching current that can damage the module. If you are unsure of the coil ohms,, take an ohmmeter, disconnect one of the terminals from the coil and read the meter with the meter leads across both terminals, there should be about 3-4 ohms reading or in that area. Generally if a resistor is used in the original circuit it is a low ohms coil-about 1.5 or in that area and the resistor must be retained or a coil with the proper ohms substituted, personally I would invest in the coil that is recommended for that unit, it will have the proper ohms to protectr the module and will have a higher secondary voltage output. Once installed and running do not remove a spark plug wire to check spark as spark can jump down the coil tower to the Pertronics connections and damage the module. Experience speaking. mEl
