Mertz Posted October 17, 2022 Report Share Posted October 17, 2022 The engine going in my Plymouth was originally used as a stationary engine and I realized today that it does not have a vacuum advanced on the distributor. The unit is in very good condition compared to the ordinal and I would like to use it. When tuning my other cars I try to put in as much vacuum as possible without pinging. This being a low compression engine I don’t think pinging is going to be a problem. Should I use the good distributor and just add a lot of advance or would the work of rebuilding the old one be worthwhile? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kencombs Posted October 18, 2022 Report Share Posted October 18, 2022 Depends on your use. If it will be driven at low to medium highway cruising speed, yes. it will help gas mileage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
