I agree. I got mine from SS. Took it apart and flipped the mechanical advance
to the more limited side and changed to Mr. Gasket lighter advance springs.
It was about 1992 but I was able to get a new vacuum chamber with the screw
in port just like original. I used the original screw in pieces but used a cut
off
screw or something to limit the vacuum advance too (see the shop manual).
My rebuilt 260 has never run better. The Pertronix is the original style and
has
never fried the coil (or itself) and worked the stock tach too.

The MK II, 289 engine: stock distributor is C5AF-12127-M and has vacuum
advance.
This is a later style Ford distributor; that means it does not have an oil
port and the center section has a tri-lobe shape. Any later style
distributor will work and you can still buy them from any Mustang or Ford
car catalog.
I would use a later style Ford distributor with a Pertronix or similar
ignition module. I have used this combination for almost 20 years now with
no problems.

Michael,
Stock 3appearance2, not really stock. All I want are performance
improvements with stock appearance, but nothing that would cause me to have
to make irreversible modifications. These are my requirements. What9s the
part number for the stock distributor for a MKII Tiger? Thanks.
