Default Distrubitur Question

I just picked up a set (2) of volvo presto lite small block chevy marine distrubiters with the pertronics pick ups in them

Will these work on a big block mercruiser application as in a drop in to replace point distrubitor set up like for a 330 or 425 hp?

If not I think I may need to sell them off (hoping for the best here)

Screw that, Just carry a spare unit, Once you have the pickup installed it's a five minute job and they're only like $25. I run them in both my old boats, got tired of messing with those points.
