While I was trying to sort out possible vacuum leaks in my '75 1.8L FI (L-Jet) engine I noticed a couple of inconsistencies in the way the PO set up the system compared to what I believe is the correct vacuum setup:

1. The distributor in my car does not have any vacuum advance mechanism or vacuum hose connections. I thought all '75 EC code engines used vacuum advance. Am I wrong?

2. There is no vacuum line to the fuel pressure regulator. Normally there is a T in the line that connects the intake manifold with the decel valve and the fuel pressure regulator. Decel valve is hooked up correctly, but the fuel pressure regulator just has the in/out fuel lines, vacuum port is open. Can it work correctly like this?
