Pertronics Distributor wiring - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I am using a Pertronics distributor and their flamethrower coil. This setup doesn't have points but still uses an external coil (unlike HEI). The instructions say not to use a resistor wire to the coil. DO I simply do the same mod as the HEI installation discussed here?

Secondly, Do I keep the yellow wire that is connected to the starter (the one that is removed for the HEI install)?

I frequently try to wire things myself which often seems to let the magic smoke out of the wires. Then nothing works right. Thanks for any help. Frank
