ok, so the trans is back in and she is shifting much nicer now, but im noticing a slight hesitation along the acceleration. I remember the vac line for the dist is still connected to the charcoal canister temporarily. Now there are two vac lines on the dist, one closer to the base of the dist, im guessing this would RETARD the timing, the other on the outside of the diaphram, which would ADVANCE the timing correct? Factory says to put the hose on the retard line but this makes my car knock and ping like crazy! I have never really heard a clear answer weather to leave the VAC off, or where to run it to, how it works etc. I tried but cant find any clear info on this. I think i need a mallory dizzy...
