170/6 build plus questions!

Rusty when you mentioned the distributor, I have a Pertronx one. Will that do?

I'm sure it will. You still need to map the curve on it though so you know what you have. I don't think Pertronix makes an entire unit for the slant six, so it's probably a stock distributor with an electronic conversion. At least I have not seen a complete distributor from Pertronix for the slant......but that means nothing. LOL
