Yes, I had the engine remanufactured. I was able to drop in my original distributor. I filed a bit more off the head and the Pertronix still doesnt fit.
You can see the scribe mark in the pick, this is where the Pertronix is hitting:

They had to of sent you the wrong one then. Because a y block is a y block and they all would have interference issues like you are having.

Pertronix makes an electronic ignition module that replaces points and sits inside your stock diz. You have to get the # off the backside of your stock unit and give to pertronix to get the correct one. It's on my to do list! Anyone done this mod latelly?
