My parts guy sold me a 1.9 WBX hall. This is all they had access to
and they said I'd have to adapt it to the 2.1 distributor. I don't
recall the details as to why I didn't pursue it further but.....

FWIW, if you need to knock out the pin at distributor base, I found
this worked fine. Image:

I annealed 3/4" copper pipe, put it on open vise, pounded it half
round with of a 1/2" ratchet extension. Drilled a hole slightly bigger
than the pin. Supporting body with piece of wood, pounded out pin.
