Jon - no resistor - so that's going to get picked up and put in this morning. When I was reading up on 12v conversions some were saying I needed it, some were saying not. I guess I do!
Carl - not a full Pertronix setup. Everything else in my distributor is factory. In converting to 12V I just asked at my FLAPS for a generic 12v coil and this is what they handed me. Learning as I go I guess...
Jerry- It must be nice to do everything right on your first try, but I'm not that good. The entire head and valve train has been disassembled and polished, carb rebuilt, and timing is set... but I can't "tune" it until I at least try to fire it up. I was cranking on it to verify I was getting fuel pressure from the new mechanical pump. It was firing and only running for a second or two but not idling. And it's kind of hard to bottle feed a carb with a floor starter.
