Had the same thing happen to my 70 AMX on the way to its first show. I just happened to be next to a mechanic and he swapped out the ign switch and it didn't cure it. Then we swapped out the starter relay and success. BTW running a Mallory Unilite with balast resistor and 100 Amp 1 wire alt with external exciter. Edited by 70 Donohue 390 - Jun/22/2017 at 8:05pm |

Somewhere in my TSM, there is a procedure to set the ignition switch. There is a wee hole at the firewall end that you place a 1/8" drill bit In to set the adjustment before tightening down the switch. So start, on, accessory and off are in alignment with key function. As for a loose switch, that is probably why it would not shut off, but there would be some power drain along with burning up alternator. Well any how that it's replaced, who knows. |

Did the MSD instructions specify what size of ballast resistors to use? I am doing the same thing with a Pertronix Ignitor module. The green wire from your Unilite module is black with Pertronix. It would be nice if I could order the ballast resistors and the MSD from Summit in the same order. Thanks for your help - and your clear diagram.
