Default Putting Pertronix unit into an Autolite distributor
I'm thinking of doing this Pertronix into an Autolite distributor conversion. A few questions I have are:

- Can this Autolite distributor be recurved? If so how do I do it? I see Summit carries a bunch of recurve kits, but none for a Autolite. Any input or ideas on this are appreciated.

- This distributor is a vacuum advance unit. How can I check the vacuum advance on the bench to see if it worls before I attempt to modify thsi distributor?

-I have a MSD 6AL box in the car already. How can I hook this MSD box to the Pertronix / Autolite distributor? The car is alrady wired for a MSD box / MSD distributor setup. Do I have to ad any more wiring to make this Pertronix / MSD Box setup work?
Thanks!
