Pertronic Ignitor in a Prestolite Dual Point?

-
I'm getting ready to reinstall the original Prestolite dual point in my 69 340 GTS. I have been thinking of converting the dual point to a Pertronic Ignitor in order to keep the factory look. Can anyone tell me what the Pertronic part number is for the small block dual point distributor? I have only seen one listed for the big block dual point.

Interesting is that part number is listed for a big block or Hemi and not a 340. Problems with the vacuum advance hook up or such?

No problem. Makes sense that they would design La stuff Around what they had around. Cast iron housings explains why ty other kits don't work
 
This is the first time that I have seen that Pertronix Ignitor unit.
How long ago did you buy it? It looks a lot different that the two ignitors that I tried back in 2017 that did not fit my
69 Prestolite distributor.

Is the 1385LS the same as this unit on Summit, #91385LS?


I'm having issues getting a Pertronix unit to fit my original dual point, IBS-4013. I bought the 1381A ignitor and it doesn't fit. I pulled the top advance plate off and still no luck, but it looks like the 1385LS requires that to be removed from the distributor anyway. Pertronix website says the #91385LS won't fit my 65, but lists this part now as a part that will work. #1385LSP6.


I saw another post with the #91385LS in a dual point 65, so not sure the Pertronix website is correct when they say it only works in 67 and above years. Summit says the #91385LS does fit the car. Confusing!
