I think you'll find the relay on the firwall (for the power windows0 is 'disarmed' while you twist the key to activate the starter and crank the motor.

Which means while you're cranking the motor over you would have no power to the ignition if you were running it off the power window relay.

Wow im so glad im not the only one getting 5 pieces of info for this situation and im still not sure what to do..ive put all the same stuff in my car and it runs rough at low rpm, kinda rich...butr if i connect the red wire to the battery (a direct 12v source) it runs awesome.... the window relay works fine unless youre starting or turning off the engine...so where do we bypass the ballast resistor?? havent ben able to figure out where in the wire loom or on the ignition switch do we tap into everything to get power straight to the coil/pertronixs?

thanks for the info..

connecting pertronix-- I have connected the wire from the ignitor to the wiring on the passenger side harness. I opened the covering and connected it to the green with red (# in shop manual is 904 on page 22-6 & 22-7 starting and charging diagram) it had 11.85 volts with car not runing and 13+ while running at idle with a/c on and no power with key in acc. position. this is on a 66 landau GOOD LUCK
ps its dark right now will confirm color tomorrow 99% sure
