Here you are Scott...This is how I hooked mine up. Just make sure you have the distributor ground wire in your distributor connected to the screw that holds your Pertronix unit in place.

You will take the red of Pertronix and the red of the MSD unit and
switched 12 volt and tie them together. Then take the black of the
Pertronix to the white of the MSD unit. These do not go to the coil. At
this point you will have no wires on the coil. The only 2 wires that will
go to the coil is the orange from MSD to coil positive and small black of
MSD to coil negative. These should be the only 2 wire physically touching
the coil. The only wires left would be the heavy red and heavy black,
which go to the battery positive and battery negative.

Also, make sure your red switched wire has at least 10 volts. Do not connect to a resistance wire with reduced voltage. Bad news.
Good luck!
