Yes they are both electronic ign. The pertronix combines the "dist pickup" and the "ECU" into one mini electronic box that fits inside the dist where the points once resided. 2 wires from it out to the coil (-) and (+) primary terminals & I believe you connect the ign1 (run) blue wire switched 12V and the brown wire ign2 (crank) wires together & run them to the coil positive primary terminal completely eliminating/bypassing the ballast resistor & with no resistor is why you need the special Pertronix coil, that & it's likely hotter
