I have a nearly stock 1.8 L-Jet with all the smog controls removed. The l-Jet distributer is the dual vacumn type- both hoses attach to the throttle body.
Last two times the vacumn wimped out, I replcaed the can. I'm wondering if there is a better way to go- given I'm not running smog controls. Are there issues specific to the 1.8 L-Jet ? Thanks, jim Attached image(s)

Update:
Had the Mallory Unilite installed Monday to replace the original dual vac distributer. Very nice ! The car drives a lot better and a lot of the issues caused by the original distributer are gone. A big thanks to Ed for the heads up, and Chris at Tangerine. |

Part Number? Someone may find it useful. -- brett |
