While the distributors will interchange (physically fit), the 216 units used a different set of points. When I went to the pertonix in my 47 had to swap in a later 235 dist (55-62) as the kit would not fit. Now I understand they have a kit for the 'early' 216s. If I can find the info I'll post the Pertonix numbers I used.
