Redneckedness
Whats up guys? So i was about to install the Crane kit in my distributor when i realized it has been converted to electronic. I don’t know anything about this so I need a little help. How do I adjust for curve if i need to? And what do i need to do about rhe vacuum advance?

Looks like every other DSII distributor I've ever seen. *shrug

You disassemble it, change slots and springs, then put it back together with the adjustable Crane advance and follow their instructions to the letter.

Have you seen the RHP distributor recurve tutorial?

 Jim,
Lil'Red is a '87 F250 HD, 4.10's, 1356 4x4, Zf-5, 3G, PMGR, Saginaw PS, desmogged with a Holley 80508 and Performer intake.
Too much other stuff to mention.

That is an OEM style DSII distributor...nothing has been converted on it. The vacuum advance canister is in your hand in the picture, and that little rusty arm in there is what pulls the pickup to advance the timing.

You need to take it apart further to get into where the springs are. Check these links below.

Thank you Rembrant. I’m working all weekend but Monday I think I’ll get into it.
