I think I need a new vac advance canister. 66’ 200, California car, LOD distributor with Autolite 1100 and SCV. My vac advance isn’t working. Put the hose to it and sucked air from it, I can hear air pull through and nothing turns in distributor. Then I tried again and the plates did move in springs, but I had to use some force and could feel air pulling through too. Seems like a leak in the canister. At least my plates are moving if I get the seal right. But what part number for this vacuum advance?? A lot are for v8 engines or don’t say for the 200 i6 load o matic specifically. Thanks!

Yes i found it thank you. Most of the ones coming up were for V8s but i got the right part number VC-12
Thats the plan, probably next year. Just trying to keep it driving for the summer. It is a Ca car, but the thermactor had already been removed when I got the car. Which has brought up a lot of questions about the timing and curve of the dist, etc that's hard to find information on, haha!
An advantage is your 1966 block will accept a DSII distributor which is just one option. The 64? and earlier blocks had too small of opening for the distributor shaft. Attached is info for upgrading from the LOM/SCV setup:
