I never used the pigtail before (just had the coil+ wire, ground, and tach hooked up to the cap) and it always ran fine.

The pigtail (white arrow below) plugs in to the
coil/coil cover behind (as in closer to the coil) the main power feed and the tach terminal (blue arrow).
There's no need for a separate ground wire unless the distributor clamp and bolt that hold the distributor down on the intake manifold were insulated from the distributor body by paint or whatever.
