Can anyone help with specific wiring for hooking up new pertronix distributor and coil. Not sure which wires from old coil to keep on new coil. I can follow the wiring of distributor to new coil. I have bypassed or removed the ballast resistor. Chrysler 360’s

You hook up the 12 volt wire that was on the ballast resistor to the positive + terminal on the coil ( 12 volts key on). And you hook up 2 wires from the distributor to the coil. The only other wire you hook up is the tach wire. I think the tach wire is gray and goes to the coil neg- .

Thanks for the help. All is working well with the engines but then my muffler blew a hole in it. That will be fun to replace
