Hi Dean
the blue coil needs to be measured for resistance as the Pertronix kits need 3 ohms resistance or more..
Blue coils are usually 1 or 2 ohms so they are NOT suitable..
The SVDA distributors are GREAT... the Best...
You just need a standard coil... 3 ohms or more...

Same style distributor, only buy the distributor without the Pertronix Ignitor Ignition Module and save yourself some money.
If you do go this way, I recommend throwing away the crappy points they install and fitting a new Bosch set.
The modules are great, though. You MUST run a standard coil or you WILL blow the module up!
