you need a 12v power the points power wire will not cut it..
From what I remember of the few I've upgraded with the Pertronix unit, they will run off of the original resistor wire, but they suggest that you source a new 12v wire. Remember that the only thing sucking any juice from this source is the coil, and it ran fine for over 40 years with ~9v.
