Re: vacuum advance suggestions for poly?

[Schuyler Wrobel <schuyler62@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Paul, You should be able to insert a 3/32" allen wrench into the 
internal vacuum canister adjustment
screw? Turn the allen screw (clockwise to decrease, counterclockwise to 
increase) the amount of advance.
Although I think this adj. only gives you more or less advance , to 
adjust when the advance comes in is
a mechanical adj. with the weights and springs inside the distributor. 
Hope this helps maybe someone can
esplain it better. I think the original type of vacuum canister your 
referring to was on the Autolite or Prestolite distributors?
