Biff,
Stop. Send that Pertronix back and start over. At least, the way I am
reading the Pertronix catalog, the L142A is a positive ground application.
Since you converted your Bugeye to negative ground, you should be getting a
negative ground Pertronix.
Due to the nature of electromagnetic fields, there is a difference in the
efficiency of the coil when wired in the opposite direction. Remember that
you are feeding it DC current. Yes, polarity should be properly observed.
