Is there a proper test for the dizzy vac adv unit? i.e., how many pounds vac and how long should it hold. Also, what about the retard side; the same?

question.
Does the car idle ok when you pull the advance/retard hose and plug it? You can drive the car without the canister...it just starts the advance faster or pulls the plates back (retard) sooner for emissions. I am pretty sure (but I am certain I will be corrected if I am wrong) that the retard side only pulls the diaphram back from the advance position. It sits at rest with no advance, so you would not be able to move it by applying a vacuum to the retard side....you would be able to hold pressure though. RIch |

The retard pulls it down from the rest position, the advance pulls it up from the rest position. That way the idle is dropped with the throttle closed (timing retarded), and the timing advanced over time when the throttle is opened (adding to the mechanical advance). Neither side holds "pressure", only vacuum, which isn't measured in PSI, but in inches of mercury. The Cap'n |
