Can an L28 distributor be locked down?

Is it possible to lock down the distributor on my '77? I want to lock out vacuum and mechanical advance completely. I attempted to take apart the dizzy, but unable to get screws to break loose. I just want to check before I attempt to tear it apart.

Yes, it should be possible, but why?

 

Most people do away with the vacuum, but even hardcore racer types leave the mechanical intact. I JB welded the vacuum advance plate to the breaker plate on my ZX dizzy.

 

I would think just take the weights off of the shaft and JB weld or safety wire them so that they cannot open would get the mechanical disabled.

Thanks for the info.

 

I want to lock down the dizzy completely since I am setting up to run Megasquirt/MegaSpark. I guess I could leave the mechanical advance functional, will just have to experiment and see!
