Barring that (you don't get sound unless you hack the audio section as well), you'll need to filter out the 3.58 info to get rid of the dots. It's really bad on a Philco-Ford set I just got (which is color but still suffers), the dot crawl is atrocious. I don't think it properly filters out all the info for the chroma section, there's obviously still 3.58 in the luma. Some kind of tuned trap is what you'd need, good luck with that.
I've been toying with the idea of feeding the Y and audio lines right into my Magnavox modulator, and feeding the TV with that on channel 3. Maybe you can do something similar?

It tried the green component output of my DVD player into an RF modulator and it works quite well.
Too bad my DTV receivers only has RF and composite output. My cheapo Comcast box is even worse - it only has RF output. I generally use a Blonder Tongue agile modulator to broadcast to my sets and they only take composite video.
I suppose I could try a 3.58 MHz notch filter like this:
