One more step, gap the sensor using the plastic feeler
gauge included in the kit.
Quick question, is your car negative ground? Pertronix
only works with negative ground.

The wiring diagrams included with my Pertronix were so
clear it was almost insulting. I guess you could super-triple
check that the diagram matches your car, both before and
after.
As well, the Pertronix is grounded through the engine, which
therefore requires a solid engine ground to work. Might be
worth a check.
Wish I could help you more, mine installed in a snap and
has worked ever since.
