Latest news. I picked up a new vacuum advance and started in on changing it out tonight. I got the old one pulled out and went in to start putting the new one on. That's when I noticed the hole that the rear screw goes in is broke off. I don't remember hearing a snap or anything like that, so I don't know what happened. Either way, it's gotta be fixed. I'm assuming this means I'll need a new distributor since that screw hole is cast into the bottom.

So now the question is what to go with. I don't mind running points, but this might be a good opportunity to go with HEI. Does anyone have some thoughts as to what's the best way to go?
If you're willing to invest, I would go the HEI way as it's a very simple upgrade. Otherwise, you could get a small drill bit and a small easy out and remove the broke of screw threads still in the dist. Easier to do this if you pull the dist obviously. Good luck
