Hey everyone, if you have seen my other dist post u know im about to buy one. I have always thought that vacuum advance is better than mechanical for street cars but I dont really have any reason since i dont know too much about em. Can someone give me some advice? If mechanical advance is better than the vacuum then I guess I should go with MSD dist bc it is cheaper also. But if vacuum advance is a must or something I should really go for then i need to go for the mallory. Help please!

I think you'll be wasting your money! For the street it'll be hard to beat a stock Duraspark or Petronix. Get an Accell blueprinted series, they come with extra mechanical advance springs and adjustable vacuum diaphram. Cheap and hard to beart! Ask camachinist!
