I have a I6 with pertronix ignition and Flamethrower coil. When I hook up the tach/dwell meter to the positive end of the coil and then ground out the tach/dwell, I get no reading what so ever.

Is there a special way you have to hook up a tach/dwell with pertronix/flamethrower?
Thanks.

When I put my Mallory breakerless conversion on I had to switch the wire to the other side, I presume that is what you did also.
