picture of inside of a Pertronix dist.
So looking at my distributor, can you tell me this will fit? My tag was missing but fairly sure I have the original cast iron dual points distributor in my 1965 Barracuda, 273 four barrel. IBS-4013 I believe. I bought a 1381A ignitor, didn't fit. Seems I need something different for a dual point. As you can see I've removed the top plate. Still not sure how this will fit in my distributor.
If I was to ditch the original distributor, could I buy pretty much anything to drop in if I plan to run an ignitor? Even a single point? I've looked at small block distributors from $60 to $300, including a nice one on blueprint engines. Not sure if quality is the main concern if I'm ditching the points anyway.
I see you have a tan cap. I've seen this argued before. 1965 commando engine, black or tan from factory? Mine was black when I got the car, so plan to stick with black.
Thanks!
