Any mechanical advance distributor can have the advance curve changed and
there is a book on the subject 'How to build and power tune distributor type
ignition systems' (www.veloce.co.uk - Speed Pro series. But, don't expect
this book to explain much about contact breaker type electronic systems or
coils.
Probably you might get away with a Cooper S distributor. Better still
contact Aldon Automotive in the UK (www. ?) and tell them the FULL SPEC of
the engine - they do about 3 specs and one will be ok.
Dyno time is mostly expensive anywhere but so is petrol going the exhaust
pipe and performance parts that don't deliver performance. I have spent a
fair bit of money on the dyno over the years (even went twice this year) and
it is always money I consider represents good value for money.

Mechanics around here charge wads (hence my DIY enthusiasm) especially for
dyno time, so I'd like to spend as little time/cash in that department as
possible. >>
