Distributors and electronic conversions revisited 444-544

Hi All:
As a followup to my post about distributors a couple of weeks ago, I started rummaging around in the garage to see what I had in the way of loose distributors. I came up with 4 so far, all different. Of course there's one in the car but thats not here at the house so its harder to check.

Got an FI distributor: 0231 163 033 JFUX 4
Vacuum chamber: 0231 146 099 JFUR 4
Vacuum chamber: 0231 146 078 JFUR 4
No Vacuum: 0231 153 009 JFR 4

I think I remember the FI dist may be from a 70 1800E, but the numbers on the rest don't cross with anything in my 544/210 parts book, and my 1800E parts book doesnt have Bosch numbers. The Bosch site that somebody cited on, I think, the 140 list doesn't talk about distributors themselves--just what tuneup parts are required for whatever year car and model.

Can anyone ID the 3 non-FI distributors I have?
What is the recommended distributor for a B20 big bore?
I also found two Allison XR 700 electronic conversions in the garage, NOS in the boxes. Any reason to think these aren't as suitable as a new Crane XR700?

Any reason to choose a Crane or Pertronix conversion...or any other brand over the others.

Thanks
Bob
