Pertronix ignitor install on a 38 1601?

Dear All,

I hope everyone had a nice thanksgiving, and will have a happy holidays.

I am curious if anyone has installed a Pertronix ignitor system in a pre-war application, specifically a 1938 1601 (282)? Their catalog seems to indicate that one of their systems will work with 37 systems, and 40-42, but not 1938.

If it is possible, I might try it (keeping the original dist plate, of course).

Thanks,

Thomas
