    So I have a 1965 Ranchero with a 200 3spd stick. My distributor is going bad and I'm looking at just putting in an electronic ignition. I'd like to have the dual advance, mechanical and vacuum, instead of just vacuum. Is there any specific brand and model that'll work best with it? I'm looking at CRT Performance but for the 200 it doesn't say anything about a mechanical advance, just vacuum.
    Thanks, Ryan

    I put a Ford Duraspark from a later junkyard 250 in my '60 Ranchero. No idea what the timing curves were but it worked OK. These days even the Duraspark distributers are getting hard to find.
