CONNECTING THE VACUUM ADVANCE

The distributor is equipped with a vacuum advance which advances the timing as the engine accelerates.  The distributor uses the vacuum created by the intake manifold.  The two are connected by a small piece of steel tubing.
If you look closely in the photo to the right you will see the vacuum line connected to the distributor.








I also connected both the top and bottom radiator hoses.  Notice, in the photo to the left, the use of the original style wire hose clamps.














Having fun!
