Make sure the Pertronics unit is mounted directly to the base plate on the distributor. I went through the same issue when I replace my old electronic ignition only to find there was an adaptor plate the ignition module mounted to. this was causing the pertronics unit to sit to high in the distributor and it was not reading the magnetic pickup as it spun.

We actually pulled the distributor to only find this out on the bench. Check that first.

Otherwise - it is simply two wires to the coil and 12v from the ignition. I actually ran a hot lead from the fuse box that powers the windows as this is a strong 12v source (Lance Nist's little trick). No need for the ballast resitor. If you have 12V to the coil, it should go.

good luck
