Who cares what they do, they have only built 100's of engines for our cars, they know nothing right. And by the way, a vac. advance dist. for an FE is $382 from Summit vs. $255 for the same one with mechanical advance only. So much for your brilliant answer. If you use the quickest curve like most of us do, then all of the timing is in by 2,000 rpm, genius.
