Electrical is not my thing so just a thought.
The resistance wire starts at the plug in the engine compartment. Disconnect it, turn the ignition switch to the run position. And check voltage at 18-p-3 on the R.H dash bulkhead connection in the wiring diagram. It should be 12v. If so pull the resistance wire and pin out of the plug and replace it with a new 18g wire and pin (not a resistance wire) and connect it to the coil. Then connect the Pertronix to the coil. No more resistance wire and 12v at the coil.
