Timing

I have a civilian distributor and pertronix set up. Question is Do I disconnect the vacuum advance on the distributor to adjust the timing or leave it alone?

Also the truck seems to run a bit better with almost 10 degrees of advance, is this too much?

Ther eis no vacuum advance, that line removes moisture from the distributor.
A lot of guys run up to 10 deg btdc

Jim you have no idea how helpful that was!!

I have had terrible problems with condensation in the cap. I've had to all but rebuild the distributor due to rust in it. I bet that line is plugged somewhere. Just in time for a weekend project!!

In the rubber 90 degree elbow of that line there will be a brass jet...more than likely it is clogged. Do NOT completely remove it.

Cheers,

Scott

Thanks,

It is, and I was wondering what it was. Luckily I haven't totally torn it apart trying to get it out.

Any advice on ho to clean it out?
