I'm in the process of installing the Pertronix ignition, but before I do, I wanted to A: confirm the advance was working B: regarding McMarks thread, make sure I didn't have interference with the little advance needle While removing the points, I see a little movement (very little) of the plate. But when hooking a hose up, and sucking on it, I'm able to get any movement at all. How freely should the plate move (how much vacuum is needed to get it to move? How much movement should there be in the plate? Is there a way to lubricate the plate, without dismantling the vacuum advance? (nervous enough just having removed the distributor) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif) Thx, Turk |

He is troubleshooting.
Pull the hose off the distributor and plug the line. See if it helps your Idle issue. Simple test, then you can decide if you need to find and replace the canister. Rich |
