I guess the simple thing to do is to be sure to rotate the dial on the MSD
Adjustable Timing Unit to full advance before trying to install a
replacement distributor.  This effectively eliminates the function of the
Adjustable Timing Unit.  After the distributor is installed and the engine
running, then the timing can be changed to compensate for the function of
the Adjustable Timing Unit.
