Dave, I ordered a new vacuum advance unit from Rock Auto.? It looks just like my old one but shiny. I have already installed it and it made a big difference.? Getting the coverage on the transition slot in the carburetor set correctly and a properly working vacuum advance unit seemed to be all it needed.? ? My old vacuum advance was not the original and not rebuild-able.? The new unit was very reasonable in cost and is also not rebuild-able.??

Gary, I see that you said there is a vacuum leak in the vacuum advance canister. You have a couple options. 1) Buy a new vacuum advance canister from your local auto parts store. (Which you may want to do anyways. It would be a goodd suggestion. 2) IF the vacuum advance canister is original I suggest you get it rebuilt and restored. (Yes there are places that do this) David from WNY On Friday, May 27, 2022, 11:20:57 AM EDT, Gary Wittman via groups.io <gary.wittman@...> wrote: Lloyd,? I finally got my distributor out and was able to get a proper measurement on the end play.? My crude measurement at the top was off by a lot.? The actual correct measurement showed it to be .023".? To get it down to .015", it would take a very thin .008" shim.? I think that is too thin to mess with and since the end play is very near the low end of the factory spec. I will just leave it.?? I think your recommendation was base on my erroneous measurement of .045". Gary in SoCal? On Wednesday, May 25, 2022, 12:44:41 PM PDT, Chris Scheers <chris@...> wrote: Thank you Marty. I did not know of that distinction. I had heard fuzzy stories of Autolite selling Mopar parts in the 50s. At 11:42 AM 5/25/2022, Marty Burke via groups.io wrote: >Ford owned Autolite?
