Otto, I have certainly read a few less-than-favorable comments about Pertronix on this forum...

I like the idea of having a system that might make the engine start and run better than it would with an OEM style distributor - especially if it could be had for a competitive price.

Jon-G. Thanks for posting the link to your step-by-step modification of an HEI unit. It looks doable. But there is a unit out there which says it is for the 235ci Chevrolet 6. I assume that one would not need modification...OR is the one for the 230/250/292 a better choice for some reason?

[ Link to unit that indicates it would fit a 235: https://www.amazon.com/Team-Performance-Distributor-Compatible-Installation/dp/B073WN46BV ]

When I search online for "HEI for 1954 Chevrolet 235 inline 6" there are quite a number of returns for HEI units for these engines. Some are quite inexpensive...but have ANY of them been proven to be good?

Thanks,
Nick
