Graham,

As I referenced in the response to Frank, changing the wires did not make a difference. I only changed those 2 wires so as to not give the Pertronix any headaches. The Accel wires are high resistance: Distrib/Coil = 5,000 ohms; Dist/#1 = 5,400 ohms. That compared to the respective Beru resistance figures of 0 (zero) ohms, and 1,080 ohms. And I removed the resistor from the head of the Beru plug wire, clean the ends, and it tested at ~1,080 ohms.

I did attempt to use the Beru plug wire without the resistor. Maybe I should have done.
