Pertronix may have changed their instructions but..
I bought one of the earliest Pertronix "points replacement" in about 1992.
Instructions then said the red wire goes to the coil - (low side of 
ballast).

I just looked at my car, it IS wired that way as it has been without any 
problem since about 1992.
Stock (and Theo's replacement electronics) tach have always worked 
perfectly and reliably.

So much better than points!   I bet most new kids now a days don't have 
a clue what those are!!
