My Motor Age manual shows two different advance curves for this distributor. One begins advance at 600 RPM, the other one begins at 700 RPM. Does anyone know which one was the standard unit for my truck? Thanks.

Welcome to the site. Although I don't know the answer to your question, I will say that a 100 RPM difference is quite insignificant.
The availability of the proper unit could be a sticky wicket...because this item responds to engine vacuum, the difference must be achieved with the internal spring.
Unless you are attempting to do a matching numbers thing, I don't think you would ever notice the difference between these two vacuum advance units.

Thanks again.
