Anyone have part numbers or an equivalent vehicle I can use to order cap, rotor and points? I tried the RockAuto route by using a chev 235 and the points are a no go. Couldn't source a cap but the rotor did fit.
You can also likely get the Pertronics unit, they work great and are an easy install.

I can't remember where you are, but the Auto Value store in Red Deer has all but the distributor cap, but they can easily bring that in from Calgary. Calgary has all the items.

I second the motion for the PERTRONIX electronic conversion. It is the one best thing you could ever do for your trusty 261. No more useless points and condenser to fail and no more setting the dwell ever again. Far far far superior to the prehistoric points system. Cheers. George
