I just started my engine built months ago and it ran great except for the idle. I don't think it's retarding. Vacuum has no draw. I have a good distributor but obviously I need some parts that I can't find. I'd rather not retard the timing manually. Any help?

Put a vacuum gauge on the canister to see if it holds. If not, good luck finding a replacement canister. I spent a couple of months looking for one then finally gave up and bought the 123 distributor. Not cheap, but seemed the best alternative and it’s pretty much plug and play.
