Does anyone know if Petronix or any one else make a electronic ignition convertion for the chevy straight six (250 in this case)?
I looked on Pertronix's website and didn't find much info on applications. I need to convert my point dist because I have an after-market a/c system on the truck and an hei won't fit because of where the compressor is mounted. Thanks,

I'm sure Pertronix makes a conversion for that application. I ran one on my sile '72 Z I had for 7 years. The first lasted a year and was replaced under warranty. The next went 6 and was still going good when I sold the car. My current red '72 has points. While doing a compression check I didn't disconnect the ignitor and it burned up.

Yes, they do. You can even get one for the 216/235/261 series. I found the best price from my local mom & pop parts store. You need a good distributor to put it in, too. If your's is worn, best to put in a rebuild. You can also go the small cap HEI route, it should clear since the cap isn't much bigger than the points style.
