What distributer is this? Trying to instal Pertronics

[Bilgewiper]

1976 Mercruiser TR-II 350 Chevy 255hp all original. According to Pertronic catalog it should have a Mallory distributor. But that part does not fit (ML-181). Is this a Prestolite distributor? In fact I am not sure how the base plate would come out of this one. The 2 hold down posts look like dowels/roll pins as there no screw heads underneath the distributor. Any Ideas?<br /><br />Thanks<br /><br />

Looks like a Prestolite from that view, but a side view will tell the story.

This view probably won't help much but it's all I have on computer now.<br />

No worries......I just ordered the whole Pertronix flame thrower distributer. Dist. wires, cap, and coil, $249. Now I won't have to worry about old bushings etc. in that 30yr old beast.
