Gary, Both these distributors are for early Spitfires. Both have a mechanical tach drive installed in the shaft housing. The 200 is taller than the 204. Both where equipped with a vacuum advance rather than the later vacuum retard unit. They are interchangeable, although I think there is a different pertronix unit for each of them.
Any pertronix reseller should be able to tell you which kit is needed for either one. The Pertronix kit is a direct replacement for points and no modification to the Distributor is required.
