Yes. I am aware of that. It seems to be running clean right now. And I do realize the distributor is not proper. But for now it seems to be working alright. Maybe it is helping running progressive. There is an outfit in San Ramon Ca. that offers a distributor modified distributor with mechanical and vacuum advance 57-65 Chevy using Chevy points for the 8BA motor. I probably won't put 100 miles on this truck this year. I may check into this modified distributor next fall. $400.00 is a tough pill to swallow.
