2. Re: vacuum for Lucas dizzy (score: 1): Author: Unknown; Date: Fri, 20 Jul 2001 14:13:34 -0700; Geoff, David Anton also prefers vacuum advance for the street.

5. Re: vacuum for Lucas dizzy (score: 1): Author: Unknown; Date: Tue, 24 Jul 2001 19:24:51 -0700; I thought the early cars all had vacuum advance that should be pulled from throttle butterflies. Latter cars have a vacuum retard and that is from the intake manifold? Crash; /html/spridgets/2001-07/msg01093.html (7,797 bytes)
6. Re: vacuum for Lucas dizzy (score: 1): Author: Unknown; Date: Tue, 24 Jul 2001 23:27:37 EDT; This comment sent me back to my old notes. It seems the later cars and MGBs ran the vacuum advance from the manifolds. This was considered the prefered position for dual carb cars as the manifold off; /html/spridgets/2001-07/msg01094.html (8,361 bytes)

Finding a predictable source of vacuum on a turbo powered car is a bit of a challenge. The 23D eliminates the problem. High gas mileage in 'aro; /html/spridgets/2001-07/msg01141.html (8,447 bytes)
