Maybe this is a dumb question, but I need confirmation - the IGN terminal at the fuse box is not fused by one of those glas fuses, right? At least this is my assumption, out of the wiring diagrams I have I was not able to come up with an educated conclusion... Means, whatever I connect to that terminal I should take care of a proper fuse? If that is correct, what fuse rating would I choose for a wire going to the Pertronix Ignitor Module in the distributor? 5Amps should do it, or?
I would think 5 amps would be plenty. That isn't the correct way to install a points replacement IMHO. I would do it the right way. Just connect the Pertronix using the original wire to the coil +. If you need to remove the resistance wire, you can do that as well. http://v8buick.com/index.php?thread...ystem-function-tests-and-modification.248990/
Thanks Larry, I read that thread. coil + terminal is still attached to the original pink wire, only the pertronix module gets always 12V, so I run an additional wire from the IGN terminal to the module. I know what you recommend, but I just did not want to touch the wire connector on the fire wall or the original engine wiring harness.
