I have made the conversion to a GM HEI electronic spark, everything seems to be working OK. However, the electronic distributor I have installed has no vaccuum advance.
I've noticed that the 1981 lean burn distributor is much simplified, with no centrufical advance weights, and has one pick up, as opposed to some models with two pickup coils.
The electronic distributor I have is listed for a 1981 -82 imperial with the lean burn system,
part no 4091140 (on the aluminum tag). It has one coil pickup, two wires. I assume the imperial would have a computer controlling the advance.
Can I move the pick-up unit and reluctor from the electronic distributor onto a reman points distributor that I have, or should I just fork over the cash for a complete replacement electronic distributor?
