2+2, im curious about this distributor machine your talking about. i've never heard it mentioned. what is involved with it?
The distributor is mounted on the machine, and spins at controlled speeds while the advance angle is indicated on the large dial. Varying the speed checks the centrifugal advance, while a controlled vacuum pump checks the vacuum advance at various levels.
This is the 289 4V chart.

Actually the machine only tells you what the distributor does. The operator must make all the changes mechanically to the centrifugal or vacuum advance. It usually takes about an hour.
