TOPIC: Points to Petronix Ignitor system converstion

The dewll tool wont do you any good now. Just put the ignitor as close to the rotor as possible withoug it contacting. The dwell will now be a dependant on how for the magnet ring is from the Hall Effect module. Your only consideration will be getting No 1 to fire at the correct crank angle. I used my Fluke digital meter to attach to the module - with the meter on continuity 'alarm' mode. I slowly rotated the magnet ring in front of the module. When the alarm went off, I put a dot of white paint on the ring with a toothpick. I then hooked up the disto to the engine timng belt and set it per stock. I dropped my dial indicator into the sparkplug hole of number 1, and found the true TDC. Factory timing marks were off 6 degrees. I then drove the magnet ring on to the disto shaft - with the white dot directly in front of the module. I then checked my work a couple times to be sure the timing was correct. That is all there is to it. No fuss with dwell and point timing anymore. You are close - keep going. And yes - bypass or shunt the ballast resistor. Remember, you only have one coil now - so only one ballast resistor needs to be shunted, as the other is not doing anything.
