After finally getting the electronic distributor (similar to the BritPart and DiscoTech units) installed I barely got two miles down the road before it kicked the bucket and had to be towed home.
History:
24v Ex-MoD, used voltage reducer to drop down to 12v and switched to civilian components. Reducer runs off relay/ignition then sends out 12v to a fuse block. Fuse block powers out through a ballast resister to a non-ballasted coil (I had previously installed the ballast to run a 25d points distributor and hadn't removed it yet since the electronic dizzy was only just installed). Coil + connects to red wire on dizzy and - to black wire.
Tonight I broke out the volt meter to start checking things. The reducer is putting 14.3 to the fuse block. Coil was also putting out 14.3 to the electronic distributor. No juice at all at the electronic module, and of course no juice out of the HT leads.
Any idea on what could have caused the electronic module to burn up so quickly? It ran for only 2 miles, but boy was it a good 2 miles!
Thanks for any ideas before I order another unit and fry it, too.
