    When I look at the relationship between the window and the vacuum advance, they are way different.

    I bought this engine as a core for a Willys PU swap. It was supposed to be an oddfire.

    Here's what the crank had on it.

    I starts easy and runs OK, but I can't get the timing marks to line up. It runs best with the timing mark 40* from where it should be (Dial type timing light).
    I think I might have a mixture of the 2.

    Cranks looks to be an oddfire.

    Is there such a thing as an even fire point distributor? HEI started in 73 and the odd fire lasted till 76.

    There is a Delco cap that has the marked NR#1 tower just to the left of the window opening that works for the odd fire 225. That one you have is directly over the open window and I cannot say for sure that cap will work for the odd fire.

    This. All even fire distributors are going to be HEI.
