What year model tri-5 and is the brown and red wires that are now on the HEI connected together at the distributor?
According to these instructions, you should have a red and a black wire on the Pertronix distributor. http://www.pertronix.com/support/manuals/pdf/billet.pdf

Connect the tan wire AND the Pertronix red wire to the + coil terminal. Connect the green wire AND the black Pertronix wire to the - coil terminal. Crank it up.
