[ROVERNET - UK] 3500s points

[Peter King]

Thank you, James. That's very helpful information.

I did look that up in my parts book, but the numbers on my distributor 
are 54420642 and 35D8, which is the number I needed to reference the 
Pertronix. I'll run your numbers by NAPA, etc and let you know how I 
make out.

Thanks again,

Peter
