Call Pertronix and check about the ballast resistor (I've read the same instructions). I was told by Pertronix to remove the ballast resistor when I installed their unit 3-4 years ago ('60 261 12 v conversion with 12v coil in a '54 PU). Starts and runs like a charm.
Regarding Pertronix, I recently installed a 6v Pertronix kit in my 6v '54 235 and it starts instantly (never did that before). I used a 12v coil that Pertronix sells and recommends for the 6v kit.
