[T3] Dwell Meter Stalls Engine

OK. So I just put in a newly rebuilt distributor.  After much fiddly around I 
got it to a point where the car will start and stay running.  The problem is 
that when I hook up the dwell meter (red on -coil, black to ground) it kills the 
engine.  If I switch it to TACH mode it reads the RPM, but the engine slows way 
down.  As soon as I go to DWELL mode again it will stall.  What's going on?
