1385cc, What mechanical advanced distributor should I use?

[Theichelberger]

Hello, I've got a 1200cc that I'm building to be a 1385cc, and I was wondering what mechanical advanced distributor would work best with my set up.

My current set up is 1200 with the 1385cc big bore kit with a set of 1300cc cylinder heads on the jugs, I will be running dual single barrel Weber 34 ICT's, I will be keeping the stock cam (.285 on the intake .295 on the exhaust) but I will be putting a set of 1.25 rockers on it. I was wondering if a 010 distributor would work or is there a better option? Any information is greatly appreciated!

An 010 is what's been used in the past.

Anything else would not be period correct

I've had good results using an 019 Glenn rebuilt for me. Running 1.1/1 rather than 1.25 - Valves are not big on these heads.

What about an 050 distributor? I haven't heard much about them

I ran an 019 screamer, an 022, then an BR25 /010 .

. Of those choices the 010 WITH a pertronix was the best without question on my 1386. I've always been of the opinion that points are fine, and pertronix was a solution to a problem that didn't exist in these engines.
But, I will say it runs very noticeably smoother compared to points.
