    Sorry, I meant the vacuum advance retard unit.

    So is this how an engine should look?? It's amazing what a pressure washer can do.

    I'm having problems with the distributor over advancing and the vacuum advance doesn't help my case. So I disabled it until I get the mechanical advance changed. Hopefully soon!

    Gas likes high static and not much advance, esp. on that sort CR

    You can play with the mechanical advance yourself, if its a basic elec. ignition, its only a couple of springs and time with a timing light
