Funny, my 70 Javelin didn't have an advance retard style distributor made by Ford. My 70 Javelin with the 304 had a smallblock chevy style distributor with the little window you could lift and adjust the dwell as the engine was running. My Javelin has a December 1969 build date, maybe that's why it has the GM distributor.
