Also missing:

-advance type, mechanical, vacuum or hybrid.
-total advance
-advance curve
-specific coil required
- All listed distributors use mechanical points except the FSI units.
- This is a list of centrifugal advance distributors, so I did not include the stock A distributor or the advance type. None of the units listed include vacuum advance.
- All units with a fixed total advance have their total advance specified. The FSI units have a variety of possible advances so I didn't list them.
- The advance curve for most of these is unknown (to me, anyway).
- No specific coil is required. FSI recommends the Pertronix coil but that coil is nothing special.

Kong distributors were omitted. They are quite rare and I never see them discussed. Feel free to add an entry for them yourself.
