Actually the FI distributor is a dual mech/vac unit in all its versions.  
The part that you really need is the FI trigger points that are mounted in 
the bottom half of the FI distributors only.  If you look at advance curves, 
you'll see that the stock FI distributors do quite well in that department 
while also providing the good fuel economy that the vacuum advance provides 
as well as the trigger points that the FI needs to run.
