In the UK, some of the later (MK5) Escorts were fitted with the Valencia
engine. This was the old Crossflow rebadged, but fitted with electronic
ignition totally contained in the dizzy.
This fits straight into a Crossflow (I have one fitted in my Sylva Stylus)
so I would guess it would also fit the twin cam. Fiat provides a side entry
cap to clear the Webers.
I don't know about the advance curve, but next time you are roaming the
scrap yard and see an old Escort, have a look. Mine cost ?15!

Another option I looked at briefly but never finished is the Mallory dual
point distributor. It can be converted to electronic, has a side entry cap,
and is fully adjustable. Designed for 1600cc Ford Pinto, should fit the
twink block and cam, but it is suppose to be a taller unit and I was unable
to get dimensions. It's a quality product and would be nice if it fits.
This is their web site where you can dl a catalog
