@verr1908 Patronix is 50 / 50 . Many threads about here on HAMB . I have had Very good luck with Mallory since introduced late 80s Early 90s , as long as wired correct Use Ballast & "" Do Not Weld on Vehicle " Unless you Disconnecting battery or unplugged wire harness to distributor. Usually can pick one used up for $50 -70, Its a gamble on eye / module tho.
I’ve made some neat recesses to clear em. Used hammers to make em Setting up engine mounts always includes fitting the dizzy.
If you can install a pertonix in there you can install points especially unipoints just as easy or easier . If you can't get the cap off then redesign the car so you can .
Did you look at the intake port to head port alignment and size, then the intake gasket 'cover' and alignment? there are a bizillion intake gaskets and they necessarily don't all align and cover what they should. My 327 with angle plug heads and aftermarket Offy 3x2 intake was leaking on the valley side of the set up because of a mis-match gasket.... just a thought and kind of wonder what manifold vacuum looks like at idle?
Well guys update pulled the distributor to fit the pertronix kit to find the base plate bearing had come apart ,so distributor is scrap picked it up new boxed at a swap meet 4 years back , I have the original distributor Delco remy with vacuum advance 1110847 serial number 6d30 but had no cap or rotor arm ,may have to try use it ?
