I found verification that the Pertronix 1168 unit is for all '54-'62 216/235/261 EXCEPT the 1112314 dizzy. Why they include the 216 in the '54+ year range, I don't know. Not only do they have Ignitor units for 6 and 12 volts, but they also have units for + or - ground.

The 1112314 dizzy was used only on the Corvettes. The '54 PG pass. car engine used 1112396. I'm sort of guessing here (in a somewhat semi-quasi-educated way), but the one big difference between the Corvette and regular pass. car 235 distributors is that the 'Vette unit ('53-'55) may have had a tach drive.
