Alright i recently converted my 74 fuel injected to carbs and was wondering what you guys did for the vacuum advance on the distributor , the only way I can see doing this is tapping into the intake or what . Calling on you joe sharp if you got ant ideas?, or anyone , thanks alot.

Rich,
Yeah, that makes sense. Operates on a vacuum so if sealed and acted upon by the mechanical advance it will provide resistance that otherwise wouldn't be present if left un-plugged. Never gave it a thought.

One of the first things I do when I buy a *new* 914 is to find and verify timing and marks and clean and re-lube the dizzy. Along with replace vacuum lines, and... well, you know.

James,
Bosch distributor grease. Pelican carries it. Or any shop that works on classic cars will have some. A tube of the stuff will last a lifetime. Looks like this: http://www.pelicanparts.com/catalog/shopca..._pg3.htm#item19
