Thanks for checking... I am so far from this point. I've been waiting since July, yes, seriously, to get my rebuilt power steering pump back. It did come back in December, but it was not my pump and did not fit. Basically, I'm down to just the block with an alternator.I'm in the process of wiring up my car with the Pertronix distributor to the 2001 and my flamethrower coil to the Red/green wire. Just thought I'd check in and see if your car is still running good set up this way. Pertronix says not to do it this way, and people I've mentioned it to have never heard of it working. So, again, just checking in.Completed this project today. Car starts and runs good. Still needs a road test. But, for those using a P1 with factory tach and aftermarket carburetor, I thought I’d share what worked for me. I believe the brown wire may have originally connected to the solenoid on the factory carb. I repurposed it to feed the Pertronix relay. On my car, the voltage on this wire varies from 10-12 volts, but the relay works fine. The red wire I connected to the battery post on the starter solenoid. Thanks again for all the input.
Thanks
Now considering it a goner and maybe for all the time I've wasted waiting I could have long ago purchased a new one. But those fitting issues - argh.
