On a Pertronix Ignitor for the 199, 232, and 258 six, you end up replacing 
the entire breaker plate assembly so you can probably get by without any 
adjustments if you switch back on the road. I'm pretty sure the gap would 
be off doing this but unless you pack a dwell meter with you, it's going to 
be off anyway.
