V6 Mechanical Advance Electronic Ign Distributor?
Looking into carbing or Holley Sniper on my V6 that was replaced with 5.9 Magnum in '89 P/U.
The V6 is an option for the Willys CJ2A project, however, is there info out there on converting a V6 distributor (computer controlled type) to one with a 6 point reluctor, similar to the standard OEM V8 electronic ignition distributor, but with maybe a slant six point reluctor and having mechanical and vacuum advance? What have folks done on this situation?
I'm not sure they made such a thing, that is with advance. "I think??" all Chrysler V6's were electronically controlled advance. I'm thinking "the first couple years" were TBI EFI and would likely have had a reluctor
WHAT IS THIS? This is a 89? what? 3.7?
A quick Google claims the Dodge v6 came out in 86
Also you might look into whether a slant reluctor will fit a V8 distributor, and whether the early V6 caps and rotors will fit a V8 distributor.
This below came off the All-Par site, so looks "maybe" up through 91 is a possibility

In 1987, its first year, the 3.9 used Holley 6280 two-barrel feedback carburetors. This setup may have lasted into 1988 on Dakotas, but then Dodge slapped an EFI intake and induction on the 318 and the 3.9. They shared a Holley throttle body, until the Magnum versions, and used a non-vacuum advance distributor. One engineer wrote, “I remember they had an awful time with the fuel/air distribution. We were all asked to help out if we had a glimmer.”
From then until the 1991 models, they used single-point fuel injection— relatively inefficient, but easier to control and maintain than a carburetor.
