I use a Triumph TR6 style distributor cap (Moss # 560-145) on my negative
ground BJ8. I want to buy a spare Pertronix Igniter Electronic Ignition to
carry with me to Charlevoix Conclave.



Should I buy the one made for the Triumph, Moss # 222-395 which says it fits a
negative ground 22 D6 distributor hoping it will fit on the BJ8 shaft & plate;
or should I buy the one made for the negative ground Austin Healey 3000, Moss
# 222-415 which says it fits a negative ground Lucas 23 and 25 D6 distributors
hoping it can fit under the TR6 cap?



Unfortunately I won't have my BJ8 handy for about a week to look and see what
Pertronix is currently installed on it.



Does anyone know the difference between the 2 Pertronix units and would they
please advise me which one to buy for my application?



Thanks!
