Is this vacuum advance, mech advance or both? Start by checking the advance mechanisms. You should be able to suck on the vacuum advance cans and watch the points plate move and verify that the can holds vacuum. To test the mech advance, just hold the bottom end of the shaft while you twist the upper end CW. It should turn a bit and then run into a hard stop. It should snap back smartly when you release it. Everything should move smoothly. -- ******************************* Jim Adney, jadney@vwtype3.org Madison, Wisconsin, USA ******************************* ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ List info at http://www.vwtype3.org/list | mailto:gregm@vwtype3.org ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
