Any way I can get adjustable vaccum canister on MSD distrib?

Dear Sir,

Unfortunately, we do not offer an adjustable vacuum advance for any of our distributors.

Thanks,
MSD Tech

If the vacuum advance unit in the MSD is still laid out like a stock GM unit then you can get an adjustable one for a stock GM unit and put it in.

The MSD large cap HEI pro billet will definitely take the Crane adjustable vacuum advance can- I've done that swap before personally.

I bought the large cap hei pro billet distrib, however I bought an MSD cap with points terminals to work with my spark plugs.

Do I need to convert back to HEI to use the crane advance can?

Thanks

No. It isn't dependant upon the cap.
