But it could be a 40 or 50 dollar bet vs. a 300 or 400 dollar gamble.

I found a dizzy at the MSD site that piques my interest, visually I think it might fit, and it has 11 choices of advance curves and it's all done digitally inside the dizzy - under the cap... so I'm window shopping?!?! Shoot me!
Mike, I might still have an old 289 distributor laying around someplace on a shelf---perhaps the early one's were a bit different? Also, some place in one of the dark corners of my feeble brain I seem to remember an offset housing arrangement for a 289???? Not a clue who made it, or even what I might have seen it on. Are the MSD distributors for the crank trigger units a possibility????
