by retropolis Mon Apr 30, 2018 4:32 pmHello everyone, I'm looking at buying the petronix ii unit but I can't seem to find the exact one? is there a link anyone can post up for the exact same one they use. I have an inline 6 200 with auto trans. My van won't start and hopefully this new ignition will help. My points might be bad.

If you have a 200 I would go with a 79 dsII distributor, a 4 pin HEI module mounted to a heatsink and use a TFI coil. I have a thread on the subject you can search for if you need links and more details on the parts and fiddly bits. Pertronix is a crutch. If you can drop in a distributor, module and e-coil for around $150 with a design that was so good Mallory and MSD still use variants of it to this day for racing, why not?
