     Yes, a "proper"        "day two" modification, everybody did it!  Well, maybe not everybody?       

     And, the date code is?

9M     If I recall it was in the Boss 302 Modification book from Ford to use a centrifigal advance dual point

      The idea of emissions' equipment on vehicles, particularly for the performance minded individuals, was not met with greatest appreciation at the time, and even before Ford suggested such for their "Off-Road" performance modification, it was already being done to convert the cars to the configuration that they "should have been" if not for governmental intervention.       

      It was, to those who understood the units' function, easier (maybe that includes cheaper, as I was often short by the end of the week ) to recurve the advance sums (a requirement for best performance with either distributor anyway), remove and toss the vacuum dashpot, and install a screw and spacer locating stationary the breaker plate, in the original BOSS unit.
