Hey Guys,
Looking for some education on vacuum advances.
Some of you know already but I’ll recap... I have 68 Mustang with the non SCV carb and the matching distributor with points. (Auto trans, no ac, no power steering).
I went back and followed Bubbas steps to practice tuning and make sure she is running well. This last time I was messing with the vacuum canister and noticed that when I unplugged the hose and plugged it from the canister there was no change in timing or engine sound. Which makes me think it’s a leak in the hose. I haven’t dug into yet because I wanted to get some more information.
Can anyone explain vacuum advance, mechanical advance, total timing? (Kinda broad)
Also, what should I do that the vacuum advance isn’t working?
Last, I plan to switch to the electronic ignition system, anything I should know in regards to the timing?
Thanks in advance this place is full of knowledge!
PS- I watched this video to get a little bit of knowledge on the canister, wondering if I should adjust it the the Allen wrench as they did.
