Got new Pertronix system, a 1.5 ohm coil - bypassed the ballast resistor, and it fired right up!!
Gonna definitely use the trick of soldering a wire on the back of the BR to jump it and leave it in the stock place.
Thanks to all who chimed in.
If I encounter any other issues, il be sure to bring them up here.

When you gut out the Ballast resistor, remove the resistance coil, solder in an INSULATED #10 wire to the 2 terminals, make sure there's nothing that protrudes out the backside to contact the firewall when mounted and possibly short out the bypass, you could also epoxy or plaster the back in to insulate it, you'll now have a true 12 volt system

I'll assume you wired the black lead to the negative terminal on the coil, and the red lead to the positive terminal on the coil, and your blue ignition lead from the harness/bulkhead should go to the positive side of the coil...
