Thank you all for your information!! Appreciated!
Seems like I have the “AMC style” of point plate in my Delco distributor then. I will ask the guy at workshop if he can find a “Chevy style”. In that case I might lift up my distributor an swap plates.
Lucky for me it’s just a “hobbycar” that I intend to use under the short season may-sept here in Sweden.
I’m learning a lot of new things at the same time 👍😄

You have the correct plate for your distributor. AMC just uses the same one. Don't swap anything. Personally, I'd return that Pertronix unit.

I hope the headache of messing with this thing is worth it. Points aren't all that bad. Still I get the appeal of maintenance free.

The guy at workshop gave me an old distributor (junk) he had laying around, with the “Chevy” breaker plate. So I decided to do the swap. At the same time I added a shims washer from his to mine, hade too much axial play on mine. The Pertronix Ignitor was now a easy bolt on.
The car started right away and sounds much better now. For now I’m satisfied and don’t regret the swap, lets hope it stays that way 😊

Thanks again for your thoughts 👍
