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.

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?
