As to the Petronix. If the car ran before it on the Jaguar system,
I would go back. The Petronix is a step up from points, but so is
the Jaguar/GM so little is gained by a switch unless the GM
amplifier or other component is flakey.If you go with the petronix, the amplifier is not needed as it is
redundant. And, I would follow the Petronix instructions on coil
and ballast. Remember, the base reason for a ballast is point
protection against higher voltage, so the Petronix folks believe
their unit needs that same protection.
Which is the bewildering part, Carl - our CE has no points to protect.
And with the ign amp redundant - where does the Pertronix get its firing
data…?

Thanks for the input. I picked up a fuel pressure gauge at
Sears (Made in China… grrr). I’m getting 41 psi at as the
line connects to the fuel rail (I installed a permanent
brass T fitting for testing) in the cranking and also run
ignition switch position, so the fuel seems good. A fuel
pressure gauge is a nice addition to my toolbox, either way.–
