Hi all -

I've got a first gen 12A with an 81-85 distributor that is down on power and breaks up at 5500 rpm, really refusing to rev any further in racing conditions. I think the problem must be ignition - the previous owner had the positive side of the coils linked together, then one wire running to the positive side of one ignitor, and both positive ignitor terminals wired together. I cut out a piece of the stock harness and ran separate positive and negative wires from the terminals on the respective coils to the ignitors without linking the coild orthe ignitors. The car then ran like crap, and tach stopped working. Is this an indicator of a bad ignitor? Any good suggestions?

Thanks for your help!
