I was in the process of installing a Pertronix ignition module in my BN2 and ran into a problem. The location of the post on the breaker plate does not allow installation of the Pertroninx module. The junk distributor I have on the shelf is a DM2 that has a different breaker plate and if it were in on the engine it would accept the Petronix module. So the question is, what do I have on the engine? More important to me is that this distributor is in good shape and has been problem free, I don't really want to change it. I've added some photos to show what I'm talking about. As usual I expect that the vendor I bought it from is not going to exchange it with me unless they are comfy that since I couldn't install it I didn't ever put power on it (I'm waiting to hear). I'd like to figure out what I have and order the correct Pertronix part. My installed distributor stamped data has the part number 40495A, which goes back to a DM2P4 as does the one on my shelf. Has anyone else run into this? The photo on the left is on the engine and the one on the right is showing the breaker plate I would need to use the Pertronix unit I ordered. Thanks.
