Pertronix and Flamethrower Coil

So I gave up on the factory ignition on my 72 280 se 4.5 (wasn't getting any spark) and ordered the Pertronix ignition (1885) and the Flamethrower coil (1.5 ohms). And guess what, I'm still not getting any freakin spark! So I've got two questions if anyone can help. First, I've read some posts here with people saying they use the 1.5 ohm coil and some use the 3 ohm coil. I have the 1.5. Have I ordering the wrong one?

Second, after talking with the customer help, I added an extra ground wire to the breaker plate and ran it to the neg on the battery. Should I ground the other plate that is beneath the top one? They sit right one top of each other so I can't see how it's not grounded.

Thanks for the help
