When all else fails, go back to the beginning and look at basics.  =
Following that advise I took a minute and checked the engine SN only to =
find out that it is a TR4 engine.  Must have been changed before my time =
years ago.  Anyway that at least explains why it has a D25 distributor.  =
Still no idea why the unusual distributor number.  I did clean off the =
vacuum advance and found the part # 54411233 and advance numbers 5-11-7. =
 TRF has a part with the same numbers but a different part # for a TR =
distributor.  Now my dilemma. =20
Do I purchase the unit, roughly $70, purchase a brand new distributor =
from them for roughly $100 (sure it is a knock off of unknown quality), =
or pick up the correct rebuilt distributor for around $200.=20
Thanks for the inputs so far.
