@halifaxhops - I am running a Pertronix Ignitor system in the car in question, and for YEARS it's been run with the factory ballast resistor in place (66 Chrysler, with a 440 TNT), with absolutely no issues. What do you suggest? What should a 66 two prong BR measure out at?
@FURYGT - I spoke to someone at Pertronix and asked about using mechanical voltage regulators with their stuff, and they claimed that I could with no issues. What in your experience causes mechanical voltage regulator failure with an electronic system? I ran mechanical Vregs for years with my Pertronix prior to switching to the Regitar electronic ones from you (by the way, your package arrived safe and sound - thanks!). I hope to run yours in the wagon as I have been for the past few years, and that they last, so that the spares I bought are simply that - spares. In the Monaco I hope to use the original (and rare) Mopar adjustible mechanical Vreg that was specified with my police/taxi 60 amp charging system, but on that car I want to run the MP electronic ignition system I bought from Ehrenberg. My car originally came with the Chrysler Canada police issued points dizzy that Pertronix doesn't make a kit for, hence the MP system. I may go with Pertronix on that car too, but regardless, I want to use the Mopar adjustible mechanical Vreg, because that was what was specified on this car - and it's rare enough to try to adhere to that - at least visually! With the police/taxi system, it was mounted on its own special mounting bracket on the inner fender, and not in the standard place on the firewall...
They're expensive and rare, and I don't want to burn it out. You can see the mounting bracket in the photo...
