1960 292 Dist info

I'm going to order a pertronix ignitor kit and went to the website and they ask for the id tag info on the dist to determine the right kit. I see the tag on the dist, but i can't get my body laid out on top of that engine one more time to get close enough to read the numbers. I redid the top end this summer and every single part was standard so i'm assuming the dist is too. does anyone have the standard dist # or the pertronix kit number for a standard 1960 292? thnx in advance. Bart

I'm unclear, didn't LOM go bye bye in 1956?

1956 was the last year for that Dist. My '56 has it but in '57 they had vacuum and mechanical advance, big upgrade I read everyone does is swap a '57 and up dist.
