Did I just break my vac advance canister? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Just bought an Accel adjustable vacuum advance canister and I was turning clockwise like the directions say, and I must have gone too far because I heard a click and now I can't back it off and it's putting in way to much timing.

Are these things that fragile? I was turning it nice and light

Yeah looks like it's goin back. The good news is I found out that my old vac canister was actually bad. I had a feeling it was and then I tried a couple tests. When I got this one on, the idle would actually change when I un-plugged it from full manifold vac (which my old one used to do) Oh well, try again tomorrow.
