Pertronix 1761 ignitor with Cardone A1 31-606 Distributor

[jalexquijano]

Just bought a Cardone A1 31-606 Distributor to replace my tired Hitachi Original Distributor on my 1972 240z:

Surprise, this model does not allow the Pertronix Ignitor 1761 module to sit flush with the Center Shaft. I have attached pictures for ready reference: first 2 are the Cardone and last 2 are actual Hitachi which is currently in my car. I believe the only solution is to tear down the original Hitachi distributor and replace the vacuum advance using the one from the Cardone A1 31-606 Distributor or look for a module that can fit flush with the Cardone?

 

Any opinions on this?

Well my first question is, Why did you start a new thread?????!! This is really a continuation of your other thread where you posted about the vacuum advance problem. These threads are really more helpful if kept together, so when someone comes along with the same problem they can find the answer in ONE place. As for opinions, you seem to be a very independently minded young person. A number of persons have made suggestions. Many of which are still waiting for responses. You will get more help if you follow up on peoples suggestions or the feedback will stop....

 

As for the dizzy, if I could install it with points and make it run, that is what I would do before you disassemble a perfectly good dizzy. If the car runs good with the points then you could leave the points in or try to make the Pertronix work again by moving the vacuum advance. That would eliminate the Pertronix and the entire dizzy as being the source of you problem.
