Default Have distributor problem need help

Im running an air gap manifold and my distributor vacuum advance unit hits it so i cant advance the timing more. Anyone know of a smaller size advance unit or any suggestions? Im using an HEI dist from Summit. Thanks

I can't offer any specific advice about smaller advance units, etc, but consider moving the plug wires one post each, and swinging the dizzy back so that the advance unit is once again clear of the intake, in order to time it up properly. Might give you the necessary amount of travel.

Be well,
