Found mine on an 84 burban with a 350, but 80s burbans seem to be where they can be found with ease.

Well, then.  Does my stock ESC controlled 86 305 distributor have that plate?  I haven't looked and don't remember if they even have centrifugal advance.

Yes. If the distributor you find with the plates is in good condition. You can just swap the whole thing mine were in an esc distributor. They look just like the ones that come in the after market kits, but they are the right weight and have the correct curvature needed
The #s are stamped in the top of the center plate and weights. All you have to do is look under the rotor to find them

Cool.  I'll check it out.  I've still got my ESC distributor.  Thanks!

Yep no problem. All you will have to do is add a couple medium springs from an aftermarket kit and limit the vac advance to 8° and your good to go. Oh and of course set your initial to 10 or 12°. I'm still using my esc dist, just bypassed the controller.

My RSC distributor had 444/60 combo in it.  :(

Awe its ok. :-)  I would say test them out with msd timing tape on the balancer and a timing gun when you get your new engine. Just to see how much mechanical timing they provide. Any how. Keep an eye out for the ones we spoke about. Its a direct swap
