Default Re: mini-starter and Unilite conversion... HELP!!!!

I had a similar problem when I installed a one wire type points conversion kit (electronic ignition). I also have a GM "mini" starter on my Big Block Chevelle.

The problem I experienced was that the car would not start when hot, it would spin forever but did not start. I was told that since the mini starter did not have the 3rd post for the 12v connection back to the coil that when the car was hot there was not enough voltage to start.

I ran a test by running a wire directly from the battery + to the coil + and it would fire right up when hot. Your situation sounds similar but evidently you are burning up the wire. Shouldn't that white wire be a resistance wire?

This is where my 2 cents ends.
