So I've implemented a little air dam in the style of Tom (the hobbler) as well as wrapped up my exhaust primaries to aid the heat problems. If this doesn't work, then the Pertronix (hall effect) will get the old heave ho and it's back to points. It gets pretty warm where I live, so I'm prepared for a constant struggle.
That leads me to my question - are the upper portions of the distributors the same throughout the 500/126 range? Obviously the lower halves are different between the two, but are the uppers interchangeable? The reason I ask is that the motor is a 126-based 595, so the dizzy installed now is the original. I have the spare (stamped 110D on the lower half) from my old 110 motor that I've cleaned up and prepped with points. Can I simply swap the upper portion on or will I need to uninstall my Pertronix and put points in that particular distributor? Not a huge issue, but certainly less convenient.
Pictured is the spare's upper half and 110D stamped lower.
Thanks
