October 23, 20231 yr comment_658458 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.

October 23, 20231 yr Author comment_658462 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.

October 23, 20231 yr comment_658481 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.
