Hi Steve,
With your Pertronix system, whether or not you use the ballast resistor should
depend on the coil you have. If you're using a stock or stock-replacement type
of coil then you need to use the ballast resistor. But you can wire it as
shown here:

which will still provide 12V to the Pertronix module as well as keeping the
original ballast resistor wiring and starter bypass for the ballast resistor
in place.
On the ammeter, also check that it does read zero when everything is off -
otherwise your charge/discharge measurements won't be quite right.
Good luck,
Theo
