  • 1989 Automatic Distributor ID ?

    How do can I identify a distributor from a 1989 Automatic from any other Festiva distributor? FMS makes a reference to this distributor as having more available advance (22 over 19) than other stock distributors.

    There's an '89 Auto in a local salvage yard.

    Or, am I barking up the wrong tree. Is this old news and there's a better way to go?

    Just bump the base timing up the extra 3 degrees. You'll get the same results and you don't have to buy another distributor. On my race Festivas, I don't even use the vacuum advance. I turn the base timing up to compensate for the 2 vacuum advance curves and then use only the centrifugal advance from the distributor.
