For reference, the box-stock Lucas dizzy on my box-stock '74 uses manifold vacuum, taken from one end of the balance pipe. It's definitely closer to the block than to the carb butterfly. -- Todd Mull

By golly, you're sure right. MGs use manifold vacuum for their distributor and the carbs are CD -- constant depression (or continuosly drips) so there will always be vacuum on each side of the thrott

On my '79B the vacuum advance was on the manifold, not the ZS carb. I put a Weber down on it, and the manifold had no port other than for the brake booster. For a while, I ran no vacuum advance, just

Cool! I can argue with Barney without Larry's help! Hmmm. I was thinking just the opposite. Perhaps I have my definitions screwed up. Ported vacuum is usually taken just behind the throttle plates of

good discussion, but - in all the dsirbutors we've checked ove r the years (30 + fyi) we find that most distribs have 25 - 30 degrees and have all advance in normally by 2700 - 3500 rpm. the cam shaf
