Probably a Stupid Question but...

Is it possible to run a Vacuum Advanced Distributor on a TPI motor, and if so, where should the vacuum line come from?

Possible, yes, you just need to send a signal into the distributor reference pulse for the ECM. However, what would be the point? You'd still need to get into the chip to tune the fuel. And if you're in the chip anyway, you might as well set your timing curve in there as well.

well, there wasn't exactly a purpose, it was a mistaken order from Summit, but I guess I'll send that one back. Is there any suggestions for a good aftermarket dist. My original is f***ed and I need a new one. I have heard that MSD has a good one, but that is won't fit the Edelbrock Hi-Flow intake, so any recomendations would be cool.
