Wait a second, although he says "Pertronix Distributor" in his post, is that really what he has, or is it just a conversion in the stock distributor? (I ask this because I don't think Pertronix makes a complete flathead distributor.) If it's only a conversion in the stock distributor, it still uses the "Load-A-Matic" advance and requires the vacuum off the back of the carb.

EDIT : A GOOGLE search yields such an animal, so I'm probably wrong, However, let's make sure we know exactly what we're dealing with before we start offering solutions..
