Why would vacuum control of ignition timing be a nightmare? This part rarely fails and is easily tested and adjusted.
Except for folks using 009's or 050's most type 1's have a single or dual advance vacuum distributor just like the 1.9.

anybody graft a hall sensor into a type 1 distributor to get rid of the vacuum nightmare of the 1.9 distributor?
