Yup. No luck there.
Try DAVE's small-body HEI's (someone else with the same name Dave) : http://www.davessmallbodyheis.com/
He's helped me with older Jeep points distributors to EFI conversions.

Try these guys. They list a 1984 c10 distributor but not clear if with or without vacuum advance.

Lock the mechanical advance and either replace the vacuum advance with a lockout plate or just don't connect it. Then, replace the 4-pin module with a 7-pin and you're good to go.
Holy Hell!!! by gawd I think summit finally got it in! just got off the phone with them and they said its on its way!
If you have the internals of a 7 wire big base distributor available, it is physically possible to mount them in the big base HEI 250 distributor. I did it last week, but haven't run it. It involved notching the base for the 4 wire harness, drilling mounting holes for the wider spacing of the ignition module - I gently used the mounting screws as taps - and another hole for a screw to replace the locating split pin for the cage (?) the pickup coil sits in. I let the "memory" of the pickup coil wires be my guide as to where that hole needed to be, (doesn't seem to be critical) and cut 3/16" brake tubing to space up from the distributor base to the locating hole of the cage (?) - I don't know what to call it - the first piece you put back on, after you've had it all apart. I did the same screw/ spacer arrangement for the mounting/grounding tab for the 4 wire harness just inside the distributor base. The three wire harness looks after itself. I put it in its notch in the base first, and worked from there. This leaves a gap where the vacuum advance went through the base, which I contemplate sealing with foil tape once the cap is on. I think it could work, if you haven't found the right one.
Oops, sorry for all that blather, I missed your latest five posts somehow. Glad to see that you're making headway. What TBI system did you start with? I'm wanting to TBI my 69 292.
Well its a the wire harness and all components are out of a 91 astro van. (ecu, sensors, wire harness, tbi) im still running thr old 1 bbl intake so i picked up a adapter plate online from 1bbl to gm tbi. The dizzy took almost 3 months to order factory but im glad i did. It is not modified at all. Mainly cause i wanted to get the wiring sorted out first. I think i need to do some eprom or something for proper tuning. As the astrovan is a 4.3 and mine is 4.1. However i think yours would probably be pretty much perfect for it?
Dave is the man. He can make anything into anything. Turn any distributor into an HEI with any module. Best quality stuff available.

Huh... Interesting. Thank you but im past that at this point. Already have a big cap comp controlled new dist from summit or rock auto. But the guys here guided me to it and it works as its supposed to. Right now im just waiting on my new boyd welding baffled rear tank with aeromotive phantom 200 baffled in tank fuel pump. After i double check to make sure that fixed my up hill battles i will then try out my bran new 6=8 intake and exhaust from clifford.
thx Dave. You ever worked with Dave? Nice stuff he builds. Hard to find a real old-style craftsman these days.
