Yep, listed as no longer available. Its the module used on HP500's with a TB IV ignition.
Best options would be to find a used one or switch to a V6 module or get a Crane box and use one of there preset timing curves.

i have a v8-hp and a v8-20, anyone know what the difference is in the timing curve, i think they are both 20* advance but one comes in slower and i think the HP is all in by 3000rpm or something like that.
im running the v6 module for a blower application. only 14* advance.

The HP modules are discontinued. I always ran the V6 module on my SC engines.
EYEBURN, you are correcty. The V8-20 only has about 15 degrees at 3000 rpm. Full advance is over 4000 rpm.

I graphed the Tbolt IV advance curves based on the information given in Dennis Moores BBC book.
