Oh, the bolt wasn't loose when I was trying to start it with the Pertronix, it only fell loose after I took it out, and I removed it before I re-installed the points. I wired the red to the positive of the coil and the black to the negative of the coil, but I also found this method which I think I'll try next time:

I also think that the timing was so far off when I installed the Pertronix that it didn't even run roughly, it just didn't start at all. I'll try again this weekend when I can get a pal to turn the key while I set the new timing.
