My blue died one day for no reason and im running an autozone generic one but im considering their flame-thrower one that petronix reccomends.

Looks like V would be needed to accommodate the timing advance. Which brings up the point: Be sure the advance plates can easily move through the full range after it is installed. I had to do some filing on mine.

V is what I have. I am also running a stock coil. I have a blue, but it is smaller in diameter, and it didn't fit into my stock bracket. Wonder if it would be worth it to fabricate an adapter?

As far as I know, the "V" makes room for the vacuum advance and retard in the distributor. The "A" will work fine, but it often requires some trimming of the magnet wheel or the bottom of the distributor rotor to fit correctly.

The square grommet of the "A" kit would fit better, but the adapter plate of the "V" fits right. I timed mine today, it was rock solid.

The "A" kit is for 009/050 distributors.....the "V" kit is for vacuum distributors....you don't use the middle plate on the "V" kit, just the one that screws to the dist. with the studs and the one with the module on it.
