Bob -
Pertronix people know what they are talking about. Very Early BN1s
use a different distributor to later BN1s and BN2s. I don't know
where the break is, but this is a constant source of confusion on
BN1s. Back in the day I still used points, inevitably I would order
points and get the wrong ones about 80% of the time.
