When you're ready to open up another can of worms, we can start talking about the rate of spark advance, both centrifugal and vacuum, and the fact that the 2.8 liter V6 that distributor was designed for doesn't have a whole lot in common with a long stroke inline six. Just because a pair of mules can be harnessed together doesn't necessarily mean they will make a good pulling team- - - -and the same concept can be applied to somewhat mismatched engine parts. Just force-matching parts from dissimilar engines doesn't necessarily mean they will work right without some serious tinkering.
