I replaced the hei distributor with a pertronix distributor in my 66 due to firewall clearance issues. Everything works great. Keep in mind that the coil needs to be upgraded and the resistor wire to the + coil terminal needs to be replaced with a zero resistance wire so that the coil gets a full 12 volts.

I replaced the entire distributor, but putting a module in a stock distributor should yield the same results.
