The dist does advance with RPM but not with an advance curve that is conducive to proper power output. The curve is linear. It is a straight advance with no consideration for engine fuel/ignition needs. If you put a signal generator out of an SC in one half of the distributor it will make spark and it might even run, but with some sense of engineering or anything like optimum output , I think
not.
If I remember correctly some 935 dist had no advance . They just it and forget it. I think at 24 degrees.
It just dawned on me that MSD has a CD box with fully programmable ignition curve. Perhaps that's your solution.
