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 |

My Early 70 engine, 1.7L "W" case had both advance and retard ports on the distributor.
Funny I don't ever remember hearing Derek's car ping under load. I checked his timing and all seemed to work mechanical advance wise. I could make the large port actuate the lever but the small port never was able to hold a vacuum. |
