The Petronix kit to fit our AMC V8 distributors(1966-?) is the same ## as used in a a GM/Chevy. Remember the ignition point set is the same. Have had one in my wife's 74 AMX for years!! LOVE it! Trouble free. Am installing one in my 67 Ambassador convertible's 290 as soon as it's out of the paint shop. Joe
