I recently installed a crane ignition (XR 3000)and coil (PS 60) in my '67 B18 (replacing the points and coil with the armored cable). Can someone please tell me why:

1) my brand new tachometer won't read above 1000 rpm even when revving the motor?

2) why, when I had the original points setup the car would start right up on the first try-and now with the "super improved" electronic ignition replacement the engine turns over a number of times before catching?



COULD THIS BE BECAUSE OF A BALLAST RESISTOR STILL PRESENT IN MY IGNITION SYSTEM?

WHERE THE HELL IS THE BALLAST RESISTOR?

If it has a ballast resistor WIRE-how do I bypass it?


As you can see...I'm quite frustrated...any help would be appreciated!
