I have an early BJ7 with the DM6A distributor and I am debating whether to replace my distributor with a Pertronix or have my existing one rebuilt. I installed a Pertronix on my MGB three years ago and it has performed very well for me. Looking at the information on Moss Motors site, however, I see that there would be some extra steps involved in fitting one of these to my car. They describe how you need to remove the drive dog from the Pertronix and drill an extra hole in the shaft in order to fit the existing drive dog. From looking at my shop manual, it looks like the part they want me to fit to the new distributor is the spindle which sits in the tachometer drive housing.
I would be interested in hearing from anyone who as actually tried this. Is it really as simple as the instructions from Moss describe it?
Thanks,
