Pertronix 1843

[Mariomark]

After test fitting this kit I noticed a problem. The tiny ground strap is too thick to let the base plate lay flat on the mating surface. Is this strap needed after the install of the electronic ignition? Should I just grind it down and sandwich it between baseplate and mating surface? I could possibly crimp a ring connector on the end of it and secure it to the baseplate with the nut that secures the module to the baseplate. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks. -M

Since your base plate is welded you dont need the ground. The ground is only needed when the plate rotates for vacuum advance.

Thanks for the help. Grinding on my new distributor now.
