Re: Vacuum Advance
10 bucks cheaper from the manufacturer:
http://www.performancedistributors.com/amcdui.htm
I did one of these for my father's 85 CJ. Its a beautifully
machined unit. It just needs switched 12 volts to run.
It really cleans things up. I put in some autolite platinum
plugs that we set to 55/1000s gap and some 8mm wires.
When you call Davis, they will ask you for engine redline,
vehicle weight, towing, plowing, transmission, whether the
engine is built up at all. They adjust the advance curve to
your answer to give the smoothest performance.
I did this upgrade at the same time as a staged Weber 2bbl carb.
Combined the response changes where dramatic and the engine
compartment went from complicated to knuckle-dragger simple,
(though perhaps not smog legal)
Its amazing how easily the thing starts now. Even when left for
a week or two.
I'm told you can get the same effect by finding a HEI distributor
from a late 80s Chevy six cylinder and having the drive gear changed
at a machine shop. A lot less money for probably the same result.
The only negative I saw was that the fatter 8mm wires and much
bigger HEI cap come very close to the side of the engine and
setting the timing is awkward. Well, that and the price....

If you haven't done a distributor before this might help.
Yours is probably adjustable (the ZJ is bolted in one spot)
In that case you have to mark a reference between the distributor
and the engine block in addition to the refs marks for the rotor.
