No, the 1167 will not work right out of the box. The pertronix takes the place of the points; using a pass transistor to make the circuit to ground. The pass transistor can tolerate the voltage but the control circuitry cannot. For this reason, you either need to drop the 28V supplied to the red wire of the pertronix using a voltage regulator or you need to purchase a 24V version. It would be easiest for you to purchase the 24V version ($125) if you are uncomfortable putting together an external voltage regulator. I used an LM7812 and mounted it inside the large can condenser/ capacitor.

You also need to use the 3.0 ohm pertronix coil to limit the current through the pertronix module.

I installed the 24V version in my brother's R6602. Everything fits within the stock ignition. I'll take some pictures later this week and post them.
