Ron,

That's good news.  This is the one I have with my MKII engine.  I also have
two Mallory twin point distributors I was thinking about using -- one with
vacuum advance and other not.  So, I plan to use the original distributor
with a Pertronix Ignitor II setup. I have the Ignitor II in my 260 engine's
distributor and the tach works fine.  Thanks!

P.S.  I still owe you all the numbers off the components of my engine(s).
Please rest assured that I won't forget!  Cheers.
