One other question
I have what looks like a vacuum advance distributor, there are two
ports on the actuator, only one is hooked up, going up to the carb, The other is just open. There are a few other vacuum ports on the intake, all of which are blocked off, two on the front of the carb facing straight back, and one on the intake manifold, should I hook up the other port on the distributor actuator to one of these? i Jerry |

The fat hose creates timing retard. This combination reduced emissions and also made the car fairly driveable. Before you connect it up, suck on each hose and verify that the distrib advance plate moves to the stop in ea direction. If not, the vacuum diaphragm is probably leaking. If you DO use the second vacuum line, the timing must be set at 5 degrees AFTER TDC. You MUST use a strobe timing light. Speedy Jim http://www.nls.net/mp/volks/ |

Maybe I should just leave it the way it is for now, maybe even
blocking off the other tube on the actuator?
