As a follow-up from my post yesterday (post #2 in this thread).......

I pulled out the Shop Manual Supplement for the '58 Packard. If your car has the original distributor, it will be a Delco 1110864. If that's the case, using the distributor number lookup on the Pertronix site, you would need either a Pertronix 1183 Ignitor, or a Pertronix 91183 Ignitor II. (In my opinion, the Ignitor II has a lot of features that make it worth the extra cost, but you would need to research it and decide.)

As Packard Don mentioned, the best thing would be to contact Pertronix via phone once you get your distributor number. Their cross reference from distributor number to Ignitor part number should be correct.
