timing on 1989 244 200

I imagine you could just remove the stock wiring from the coil and drop in a distributor of your choosing - or even go distributorless.

The only problem I could see is the ignition computer complaining about a 'bad' coil, in which case you might be able to fool it by putting a suitable resistor in where the coil used to go.

The stock setup is reasonably good. If you just want to change the advance curves that could be done by modifying the timing maps in the ECU's EPROM.
