Hi all, Still batteling withe my old beast.
I tested the advance just now and I don't have any. My model comes with the factory emmisions so the distributor has an advance and retard line. The retard has vacuum. The advance does not. They connect to a 3 way pot, with an electrical conneciton, on the passenger side of the firewall. At idle the advace should have 0 vacuum and as the RPMs go up the device on the firewall should open and allow the advance to kick in. I put a vacuum gauge on it and from idle all the way to 4000 RPM the gauge stayed at 0. Is there any way to test the 3 way valve? should I be able to run compressed air through it? do these thing seal up ? will PB blaster or something help? should the retard shut off at any point? How does the system "know" when to kick in the advance? Thanks George
