is there any reason why the igniter 1 would work in my car better than the igniter 2. the car was running fine with the original ignitor but I put in the igniter II and now the car is running like crap it is a Chrysler Newport 383 1968. I have the msd 5531 wires on the car it says they are spiral core, I know with the ignitor 2 you cannot use solid core. Also I have the flamethrower 2 coil as well and a jumper wire that eliminates the ballast resistor.

 

You may have changed the timing ????

 

I put the ignitor one in started up and is running good. The only thing is when I step one the gas or flooring it at low rpms it boggs out like it wants to stall other than that no pinging or stalling.

 

I know that this is an.old post
my 1st dizzies where pertronixs all 4 faild or never wrked then I took my brothers advice and returnd to mallory
and as far as msd they have so.many types and options like chuby & furd motors
what was wrong with the originals....didnt work? maybe , maybe not
some combos dont work together always check with manufactuer tec department
Your carb may need rebuilding as far your bog

 

my idea. use a chrysler distributor. the first way to check it is check the coil for OHMS. the second way. get an analog VOM. set it on the lowest AC volt. put the probes in the dist wires. spin the shaft. if the VOM moves any it should be ok. if and you spin it by hand the needle may not move a lot. hint on the ballast resisters. buy 2 good ones and keep them in the glove box. and at the first no start swap one out.
