Merry Christmas everyone.
What is the purpose of the vacuum advance knob on the Lucas Distributor, car is a 64BJ8.
My distributor was just rebuilt. Once back in the car the timing needs to set.
I've read twisting the distributor sets the timing to I believe 10-15 degrees.
Does turning the vacuum advance knob do the same thing?
Does the vacuum advance knob affect the points gap?
Did the advance knob get set to a certain place in the rebuild process?
Is there a middle position setting? In other words what will happen if the knob is turned too far to the left or right?
I am currently running points being that is what the rebuilder put in when I got it back. I was running pertronix ignition and will put it back in after running the points for a while for comparison.
