Hi all,

I have a couple of questions about distributors:

1) I'm putting in a pertronix, and on the old points, there was a ground strap that was connected to the bolt that holds the points in. In the instructions for the Pertronix, it doesn't mention anyhting about the ground strap. Should I use it? I can't see it being a big problem, but the Pertronix mounting plate might not sit flat if the strap is used. Any thoughts?

2) I have a 74 2.0L. On the vacuum advance there are two ports, but on the 74, only one is supposed to be used. Which port is it, and what does it do? Is there any way to test the vacuum canister to make sure that it is working?

Thanks guys,
