Well #1 are you all stock in the ignition system? If so you have a external coil HEI. Why do you think you need a new one? If you are all stock yours is controlled by the computer and that is why you have no vac. advance the computer will take care of that for you. If you need a new one you can get a replacement from Summit or Jegs. If you are just wanting to hop it up a little I would get a new external coil......module and maybe a MSD 6 with the plugs to make install a snap.

Just rebuild your old distributor with a new pick-up coil , ignition module, cap rotor and get a MSD External coil. It'll work great.
