Distributor changes

Post #4. Dist #440xxx.
I suspect that might be a 440 dist. It is close in length to the 360 dist, but turns in the opposite direction & is unusable in a SB.
Yes, very good idea to use an adjustable vac adv, so make sure the dist has one. 370 hp is going to need a reasonable size cam. So it will need a lot of initial [ idle timing ]. This is where the VA comes in [ pardon the pun ]. Connecting the VA to manifold vac allows timing to be added at idle. See bellow.
