Distributor vacuum advance

Post by AlanH »

Hi all,
I am reposting the technical part here in case someone reads this and is able to help.
So maybe someone here can assist. The problem I have is that the timing once over say 1500 rpm starts to advance to about 40-50 degrees when running at speed and it is not limited to the 28degrees. For that reason, I am driving with the vacuum disconnected which again makes it a little crappy on pull away.


Wanted parts:
Left sunvisor
Sink faucet
Exhaust to swap for Beetle exhaust
