<p>Bruce,</p>
<p>I recommend you call Pertronix and discuss with one of their
techs; I've found them to be knowledgeable and helpful.</p>
<p>IIRC, the wiring scheme is different for a pos. ground car vs. a
neg. ground car. (pos. gnd. is simpler, and allows you to retain
the 'anti-theft' feature of the w/b wire to the cutoff switch with
a bit of modification, if you so choose). Their site says the II
requires suppression ignition wires, so you'll need a different
cap and wires. If by 'points plate' you mean the advance plate,
the answer is no; the Pertronix replaces the points
screw-for-screw (minus the condenser, of course). Timing will be
off--probably retarded by 20deg or more--after the Pertronix
install.</p>
<p>The Ignitors (Is) in my BN2 and BJ8 gave overall improvement with
OEM coils; they'll throw a 3/4 inch spark outside the cylinder. <br>
