Still struggling with car at idle after 8 years

I  think those numbers are fine. Not stellar but pretty even

Now on this last post of your you show a completely different coil and resistor ignition set up then what you posted above.

Which one is your car. This last photo you posted does not show where you connected the red wire.

This is important.

Enough with the compression tests already. 

Has nothing to do with his issue.

Which wires you want to see? I even took my car for spin and everything went fine. As i told everyone the problem shows up when the car is sitting on traffic for many minutes. Fouling begins.

OK, this is your car and the other you posted is someone else car.

Now where did you connect that red wire from the distributor?

Do you want me to open the floats on the carbs? I also have a couple of float sync sight glasses.

This is what I am getting at.

This will cause that.

Show some detailed pictures of the wiring connections at the coil and ballast resistor

jalexquijano. Pay attention to stop your suffering. 

This is where the red wire goes. See attached.

Do you even know the resistance of your coil? 1.5 or 3?

Nothing good happens until the ignition is correct.

Here im posting better pics so you can review the wiring better and the model of the pertronix installed. The resistor was the one that came in the car.

That coil looks pretty old what’s the history on it?
