Anyone have any experience installing a pertronix unit in an older distributor? The pertronix site lists part #1169 as the correct unit for my car. But it also notes that the distributor number should be "204". My distributor (Delco) has the number "200" stamped on the side.
The issue is that the pertronix mounting plateat one end just sits on top of the vacuum advance tab/post. It doesn't sit flat. Any ideas? I thought of grinding a little away from the pertronix mounting plate but where I would need to grind is right where the little rivet attaches the plate to the pickup unit. The picture below may not show enough detail... sorry
Thanks for your help, Dave
