I have a distributor that I am considering running with a 1915 with Kadrons, of course using the vacuum port. The numbers on the dizzy are: 0 231 176 044.

This is a vacuum advance distributor that has the dual vacuum ports canister.. That is my tired way of saying that it has the vacuum port for vauum advance and vacuum retard. Will this work with a set of Kadrons running an Engle 120 cam with CB Perf 044 heads? Should I cap off the retard portion of the vacuum canister? Is it the on in the front or the one in the back (as looking at it installed in the engine)? Dies the advance have the larger vacuum tube or the smaller one? Is this vacuum advance only? Or is this a type of SVDA?

I know that the SVDA #0 231 170 034 such as sold by AJ Sims at www.lowbugget.com is a good dizzy and that the Unilite vac advance is better, but would this be better than the 009 I am using now? Also, can I get a Pertronix to drop in here?

Glen?

Distributor 0 231 176 044 is a late model fuel injected distributor.

I've never used one or know the specs. So i can't comment on it.

Pertronix are model specific. I know the one that fits the 009 does not fit the 010/019 models.
