Default Adjustable vacuum advance for MSD distributor?

Has anyone added an adjustable canister to an MSD or modified the one they come with? I'd like to have some vacuum advance but I'm getting too much at hwy speeds and need to limit it. Any ideas?

I just went out to my local Auto parts store and got an adjustable vacuum advance. You can also order them from Jegs or Summit. BTW I’m running the MSD pro-billet HEI.

Thanks 79er! I had assumed that those might be just for stock Delcos. I take it that it swapped without any problem?

No problems at all. Just need the basic hand tools. I got mine from the local speed shop.
