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
Or you can just gut the ballast resister, and solder in an 8 guage wire to get a full 12 volts across it. I thought it was a much cleaner install that way. And if you care about stock looking at all, that's the ticket. You just have 2 wires coming from the dizzy to the coil instead of one.
