Re: [T3] compufire ignition question

[PunkDork55@aol.com]

<< went to start the engine. Nothing. Just the 
 starter whirling. Went back to the engine and the distributor was 
 smoking! Took off the cap, and the black wire coming from the metal 
 module was melted and hot! What did I do wrong? Could it be a defect
 in the Compufire set I bought?  >>


    I installed the compu-fire kit  into my bosch 009 dist about a month ago. 
 Maybe when you installed the unit in place of the points, the wires were not 
out of the way enough, so that when the rotor rotated it rubbed against the 
wire, and the friction could have melted it.  thats the only thing i can 
think of.  
    Also, correct me if im wrong, but i dont think that compu-fire made a 6v 
kit.  and i believe that your 66 (unless its been converted)  is a 6v car 
with a 6v ignition coil...  
then again, if youre running a 009 dist, its probably not a stock engine, 
right?

Hope this helps.
