The TD distributor had a shaft and action plate with a maximum advance
of 15 degrees (30 degrees at the crankshaft). An optional shaft and
action plate of 17 degrees (34 degrees at the crankshaft) was available.
The TF 1500 distributor's shaft and action plate reduced the mechanical
advance to 12 degrees (24 degrees atthe crankshaft). It would be best to
look at the shaft and action plate in your distributor, and see if it is
stamped 12, 15, or 17. With the fuels today, the more advance would be
most beneficial.
