Help, I need help!  After installing a Jacob's pro street ignition system on 
my pantera a very strange thing happened.  The car now referred to as 
Christine decided to run even when the ignition switch is selected off.  
Quite puzzled, I watched the engine run for several minutes.  When I pushed 
on the brake pedal preparing to drop the clutch the engine died!  Thinking it 
was a fluke I tried it again, with the same results.  After double checking 
the wiring and installation with no problems noted, I checked the schematic.  
I found that if I disconnected the voltage regulator the problem was gone.  
So off I go the parts store for a new regulator.  Whalla! Problem fixed with 
new regulator.  Now you know I would not be writing this letter if this was a 
PERMANENT fix.  The demon came back, after several hours of operation. So I 
ask you my fellow Pantera owners can you help me?  Schottrod.@aol.com
