    Unhappy where to get Vacuum Advance?

    Hi All,

    Just checked, my vacuum advance diaphragm is exhausted....

    Can someone suggest where I can get a replacement from in or around ipswich, Queensland?

    3.9l V8 '99 D1 with Lucas 2-Wire Distributor.

    Cheers, db.

    Slight jump of the gun here ...
    I have figured out a method on HOW to do it ... But I'm still waiting on a "spare crook unit" to actually do it to ....

    If it works ... I'll post up some pics ....

    But in the meantime .... try this mob ....

    I bought a reconditioned unit from the 'Advanced Diaphragmn Options' mob in Queensland, very quick service. They sell on an exchange basis so you get a bit of a refund when you post the old unit back to them.

    So now I have a question for knowledgeable types - is it straightforward to replace the vac advance unit (3.9 V8) - any tips/pitfalls?

    I checked RAVE (and Haynes ) but found no instructions...

    Pull off dizzy cap leaving HT leads as is and take off vacuum hose.

    If you can’t access either of the 2X vacuum mounting screws (torx heads), mark distributer body position in relation to timing cover, release distributer clamp (15mm spanner under power steer pump) and rotate distributer to get access.

    Remove rotor (maintain some pressure to circlip/washer with screwdriver if rotor hard to lift off).

    Remove 3 X phillips screws and take off plastic insulation cover to expose vacuum arm.

    Remove 2X torx mounting screws, unhook arm from plate and remove old vacuum.

    Refit new vacuum ensuring arm is hooked up on the plate (use some medium strength theadlocker on 2X Torx screws) .

    Test operation by sucking on vacuum tube to ensure plate rotates approximately 7/8 degrees. (proper test of advance with out and with vacuum connected should show that vacuum advance of approx 15 crank degrees is all in by approx 2,500 RPM).

    Replace plastic insulation cover.

    If moved rotate distributer back to original marked position and tighten clamp.

    Refit rotor and cap in original position (before hand a couple of drops of oil down rotor shaft before replacing rotor and inspect rotor and cap contacts and HT brush/contacts for wear while your there).

    Note: Your initial advance will need resetting if the arm length between old and new vacuum units was different (rare but not unheard of) and or the old diaphragm had stiffened/shrunk significantly with age.
