Your best to eliminate the ballast resistor, if you want it to look "stock", gut out the back of the ballast resistor, solder in an insulated #10 gauge wire to the two terminal, make sure there's no exposed metal surfaces on the backside of the ballast after you mod it, plug it back into the system...the coil hook up is RED wire to the POSITIVE terminal on the coil, BLACK wire to the NEGATIVE terminal on the coil, your ignition lead from the firewall junction block (usually BLUE) should go to the POSITIVE terminal on the coil...your done

Is an air gap adjustment required on your Pertronix? if so adjust to the recommended spec using the PLASTIC supplied feeler gauge, don't use steel or brass feelers

The Pertronix install will re-phase the timing , even if you did the install in car and didn't move the distributor, timing could be anywhere from 5-25 degrees BTDC/ATDC a reason the car may not start after install

Was there green tape on the Mag?, if so did you remove it? (I hope not!)

Use a copper terminal cap, no solid core wires, don't leave the key on in the ignition mode without the engine running for more than 20-30 seconds, as you could destroy the HallCell
