Re: Where does my distributor vacuum go?

Go with poorboy's advice. The only port that has vacumm during acceleration it above the throttle plate. Look for a port above throttle plates and hook it up to the distributor vac advance. I know the ones below have no vac on accel from my experience with old truck wipers. Rememberwhen?
