When you start refering to other dist and vac. advance, lets not forget the 
weights and springs are quite a bit different for each model, also piston 
size makes a g difference, that has been the problem with replacement dist. 
over the years, installing the original factory dist with 83 mm piston and 
now you have 92 mm piston, just will not work for the best performance for 
your engine, many variations to even a T/R 3 & 4, piston size is the most 
vital to know. "FT"
