Thanks to all rhat replied. I took Bill's suggestion and connected it to the 
second terminal on the coil, and, after resetting the timing, it fired right up 
and is running great. It turns out that had I had the time to play with the 
timing yesterday it would have been fine.

Once again, thanks for everyones help.

On a 73 I believe it is a wire in the wiring harness.B  There is no separate
resistor.B  My 74 is that way as well.B  When I didB  my Pertronix I just ran
the 2 wires to the 2 terminals on the coil.B  It's been running fine for
about 12 years.

Last week, I inquired about which electronic ignition to use. I purchased a
Pertronix, and started to install it yesterday. This is on a 73, US spec
1500. Can someone please tell me the physical location of the ballast
resistor?

Thanks,
Doug
