Hello. I have a 1973 1.7 D-Jet and am having some issues with my vacuum canister on the distributor. It is a 2 connection distirbutor. First off.
Can anyone explain to me exactly how the 2 connection works? And number 2- Can I plug it and use a 1 connection? The reason why I ask is because PP has to order them(and even then it may be NLA) and it's 24$ for the 1 connection and 188$ for the 2. I can't really afford a 2 connection. Any help is appreciated. Thanks, Derek |

The larger port is advance, the smaller port is retard. Both are used.
I installed a new vacuum pot on robert's (Robert21?) red d-jet car a few weekends ago. It is a fairly easy and straight-forward task. Here are your options: 1. Repair the distributor with a good used or new 2-port vacuum pot. 2. Do away with d-jet and run a different distributor. I reccommend the first over the 2nd. There are still good vacuum pots to be found out there. If you must, you might be able to run the vacuum pot from a 1.8 L-Jet car, as they have 2-port distributors as well. I wish I had the bosch parts catalog on my work PC, then I could give you specific bosch numbers or part numbers so you could call around... |
