Greetings all! I am slowly getting my garage back to being able to actually work in - I swear that cr*p multiplies in my absence. One thing I have been wondering about is the dizzy and specifically the vacuum part. Back in 2011 at the 50th, Jeff Schlemmer suggested I not worry about connecting the vacuum at all as '76 cars had vacuum retard and not vacuum advance. So we plugged it and I haven't worried about it since. That said, if you touch it, it is hanging loose on the dizzy casing. I have tried tightening screws to no avail and am wondering whether I should just remove it. any thoughts? any instructions? I can't quite figure it all out. thanks all!
