If it dies, you probably don' thave enough initial timing to get it to run with the timing control disconnected. Try advancing the distributor a bit by hand (like 10deg) and retrying the whole process. If you keep advancing the distributor and the car runs but then stalls when you disconnect the bypass circuit, you have a bad ignition module. you should be ok, though, by advancing a bit. Counerclockwise while looking down on the distributor to advance, BTW.
