2.0L ('83-'88) Distributor help!

[MooseBlood182]

I have the 2.0L in my ‘83 and can’t for the life of me find a somewhat stock distributor for sale, everyone says they are out of stock. Any ideas?

I can’t seem to find one at all, at this point I don’t care where it comes from

What setup would I need? I think it’s a single vac with points but I’m not too familiar with timing. Most of my vacuum lines are gone so I’m trying to figure out where the distributor vac line goes to. The sticker under the hood says it goes into the VCV but I don’t know where that is on the 2.0

Sorry, I've never had hands on experience with this motor.

I'd help but I've never ran a Lima with a distributor let alone a vacuum advance unit, there's a reason I went with DIS on my 2.3L but that was to avoid TFI issues...

Yeah don’t blame you there. I just had problems with DFI before so I was hoping to avoid those issues and ran into these instead. Just trying to get back and forth to work but I keep running into problems.
