Emery,
It's sort of nice to fix it without working so hard on it.

Phil,
Lawrence never had a kit, nor did anyone else, AFAIK. You just buy a
Pertronix system and make your own bracket for mounting its sensor. IIRC,
my album lists the part number for the Olds 455 kit. I also tried the VW
kit, which Pertronix suggested might have more appropriate physical
characteristics -- it didn't.
Others have posted their installations, which have better brackets than I
installed on the few I've done.
One caution: be sure you buy the original Pertonix Ignitor, which uses a
rotating assembly of magnets to trigger the Hall Effect sensor (use one of
those magnets to mount in the Onan flywheel. DO NOT get the Ignitor II --
it does not use magnets, but detects the lobes on the original distributor
cam -- how, I don't know.

I used the Olds one. In my opinion is was much easier to mount than the the VW one we did on Dan's coach. We had to make a bracket for Dan's . On mine we just formed the existing bracket to fit.
