Good evening all,
I have a petronix ignitor system replacing the points in the distributor in my 1974 3500 auto. The chap who fitted it declared the vacuum advance redundant and wound the adjuster drew shut on the dizzy. This was nearly a year ago, and the car has run OK but not as well as I hoped. Could someone please tell me if this was the right thing to do or not? I have now been told that the vacuum advance is still necessary, and have discovered that the membrane was punctured by the adjuster screw so I have an air leak!
Many thanks,
John
