standard motor products VC184 is a 17 degree vaccuum advance module. that's the shortest vac. advance canister I've seen for the electronic ignition dizzies...
I've been looking at vac advance cans for the last little while. I can't see anything for a big block that's less than 18. The VC184 you mention has the arm the opposite way, like for a slant or SB. They actually have a 13 degree can for a SB or slant, VC173.
VC184 is for a small block dizzy....
wish I woulda known about the VC173 before I bought mine...of course, my mag heads don't like a lot of timing at WOT (32 seems to work best), so the 17 degree can is about right for me.

Ok I measured the slot with digital calipers and came up with 0.480. It's a 17 degree plate so I get 0.01411" per degree. I was gonna make it advance 20 degrees so that means I need to take 14 at 0.197 off leaving 0.283 which doesn't seem like a lot, the weights are barely going to move in that space but I guess its right?
It is not right. You also need to measure the pin that sticks out of the top of the weight. See the * in my previous post.

Doh! Yes that makes perfect sense. Ok I come with .380 now which seems more like it.

dropping the adv plate on the pins 180 off keeps the phasing the same in spite of the directional arrow and the 2 choices of roll pin slots on the reluctor wanting to convince you otherwise
Ok thanks. I thought that since the reluctor can go 2 ways and the "teeth" are not lined up with the pick up the same way between the 2, I thought turning the advance plate on the pins backwards would be the same as having the reluctor on backwards.

visualize an analog clock showing 5 minutes before 5 o'clock and if you epoxied the hands to lock the hour and the minute hand together as one then rotated the hand assy 1/2 turn (180 deg) the offset would end up being the same and if you 1st changed the roll pin hole and if this put the hands at 10 minutes in front of 4 and you locked them together as before and again swapped them 180 the top hand would still be 10 minutes away from (12)
