Sounds like a faulty coil or a bad/broken wire somewhere. Also check the 
engine earth strap and battery switch and connections. What coil have 
you fitted. If the ballast resistor (wire) is still in place it should 
be a 12V ca. 1,5 Ohm coil to be used with a resistor or a 12V ca. 3Ohm 
coil to be used without resistor.

            cleaned and oiled it  * disconnected the wire leading from
            the battery cutoff switch to the coil. * bypassed the entire
            battery cutoff switch * replaced the Pertronix with a new
            one  * checked all the sparkplug wires to make sure they
            were on properly  *  replaced the distributor rotor
            *Replaced the distributor cap . * checked the small ground
            wire inside the distributor to make sure it was attached
            properly.</div>
