You can adapt the vacuum advance to the old pro billet. I run that one in Dad's GTO and i added the vacuum advance to it 25 years ago. It has the provisions for it and since I like to source my own vacuum cans and modify them accordingly iit was a non issue. Of course now msd sells them with vacuum cans, go figure, lol

I just recently finished a 383 for my G-body and since it was an hei originally I bought a new msd ready to run billet distributor and matching coil .500 shaft, I swapped on a melonized gear for the steel roller cam, set up the curve I wanted and dropped it in. Almost 4000 miles on the setup so far and it's fine.
