What distributor do you have now?

I've had good luck with the Pertronix electronic conversion kit in an old Mallory duel point dist.

And you can normally find a Mallory fairly cheep.

I have a dual point Mallory.  do you do the swap and still use the vacuum advance or lock it in at a certain degree?

My Mallory didn't have a vacuum control.

Check out the Pertronix kit, I think you can get it to eliminate the vacuum advance.
