801 Powermaster Pertonix Ignition

(quoted from post at 13:03:32 04/05/14) This is what happens when I have been up too long,
I bought a Pertonix EI for a 6 volt positive
ground and decided to install it today. I have
everything hooked up and now I am at the point of
wiring the system. The instructions say to wire
the black/white wire to the negative side of the
coil and then the black wire goes to the ignition
switch and a 20 gauge wire to the + bat or
chassis. My original connections are from the
Dist. side of the coil to the distributor and from
the batt side of the coil to the solenoid. So the
question is do I put the black/white wire on the
dist side and the black wire on the batt side and
what about the 20 gauge wire the instructions
state?

(quoted from post at 14:43:57 04/05/14) Every Petronix unit I've ever used there are 2 wires one to the Bat side of the coil the other to the distributor side.

(quoted from post at 15:07:36 04/05/14) The instructions say...
Connect black ignitor wire directly to the ignition switch wire...
Connect black/white wire to negative side of ignition coil...
Connect an insulated awg 20 copper stranded wire from the positive coil terminal to the positive battery or chassis...
The black/white ignitor wire and the awg 20 copper wire should be the only wires connected to the coil

Since my first post I checked the resistance on my coil and it is only at 1 ohm and the intructions say to have a minimum of 1.5 ohms so in the mean time I will be ordering a new coil

(quoted from post at 17:40:47 04/06/14) Ok, I ran the black/white wire to dist. side of the
coil, there is a wire from the starter solenoid (s)
going to the batt side of the coil. I ran the black
wire to the ignition wire and I dont have anything.
