I had been struggling with an HEI distributor fitting in my 55 Chevy and was about ready to break down and get a MSD distributor because it was smaller. I decided to give one of these a try and am so glad I did! I was able to use an original points distributor and install this pertronix unit in a matter of about an hour! Great deal over paying $300+ when you just need a basic ignition.
