I've been searching some Pertronix issues, but have not quite come up with a fix for my issue. I hope I may find some assistance, if able.
Ford 2600 3 cyl Gas. I replaced the Ignition with the 1231 Pertronix, upgraded the coil and installed a Ballast Resistor. Tractor started right up, and ran for about 5 minutes and stalled. Could not start it again. I did not realize the tractor had a Ballast Wire, and Coil was no longer good, no resistance showing from Pos or Neg to high voltage wire. Got a new coil, removed the ballast wire and ran regular wire from the wire from the ignition, to the Starter relay, to the Ballast Resistor to coil. I can't get any spark. Coil is good, Pertronix Ignitor is good. I get 12 V to Ballast Resistor, 12V to the Coil, (after ballast resistor should this be 6V?) Ran 12V direct to red wire on Ignitor. All Grounds are good. Still no spark. Magnet on the ignitor when spun voltage goes 12 to 0, so ignitor is working. Coil resistance is good. No spark.
Anyone have a clue what I'm screwing up or have screwed up? It started and ran wonderful for 5 min and then nothing so that drives me even more insane.

Today's Featured Article - Timing Your Magneto Ignition Tractor - by Chris Pratt. If you have done major engine work or restored your tractor, chances are you removed the magneto and spark plug wires and eventually reached the point where you had to put it all back together and make it run. On our first cosmetic restoration, not having a manual, we carefully marked the wires, taped the magneto in the position it came off, and were careful not to turn the engine over while we had these components off. We thought we could get by with this since the engine ran perfectly and would not need any internal work. After the cleanup and painting was done, we began reassembly and finally came to t
