Has this engine ever started properly with the Pertronix? If you're getting the hot lead for the pertronix from the plus side of the ignition switch (OEM), then you don't have power when the key is turned to the start (not the on) position. This could be why you're not getting an arc at the plugs. I think a push button start is the best alternative. You could find a temp source of power (not switched) to test this idea.
