Although I've never had a vehicle with the Pertronix electronic igniton, that news that yours "really sucks up the juice" seems unusual.

I mean, I've owned more than one 1975 GM vehicle (both then and now) equipped with factory-installed HEI, but no heavy-duty battery or high-output alternator, and never experienced such a problem.

I suspect a problem with your Pertronix unit or installation thereof, but am unable to provide diagnostic assistance.
