Distributor swap on 200cid ( ditching the LOM)

Swapping Distributor to be compatible with Carter RBS carb. I picked up a 68 distributor today for 35 bucks at the boneyard. It has two vacuum ports on the advance. Can someone tell me where to run both lines for optimum engine performance.

I just snapped a pic of the routing in my shop manual but my photobucket isn't working to upload it. PM me your email addy and I'll send it to ya.

Pm sent. Thanks Stephen

Got the distributor in and it fired right up. Did not get a chance to take it for a test drive. Hope to drive it this afternoon. Gonna replace the coil just for precaution as it is very old/rusty. Almost there, hopefully.

Got everything in tonight, new Accel coil, condensor and rotor. Took it for a test drive. Nice noticable difference. I can actually climb the very steep hill near the end of my road in 3rd gear with only minimal speed loss. I think I will get my brother, the actual mechanic in our family to come over and check compression, adjust the mixture on the carb, and set the timng with a light. There is a slight miss, not major but noticable.Only thing I really need to do now is change out the Idler arm sleeve tomorrow. I also notice that when I back off the throttle there is a slight jumping/shaking from below the car. I need to check the tranny mount and the u-joints while I am under the car tomorrow.

What kind of gas works best for these older motors. Higher octane make any difference.

Good stuff.

I ran 87 with lead substitute for 40k miles or so on my stock engine in the past 5 years. I have 20k miles on my rebuilt 9:1 engine with 87 octane and no lead(I used a late model head for rebuild). Some say lead additive is for the birds, others swear it's necessary. My machinest/builder said to use it in the old motor so I did.

Thanks 68.
