That's the problem I had with my 205L ('68 FI) distributor. I've got Weber ICTs so
there's no appropriate vacuum port. I just plugged the port on the diaphram can but
eventually (last week) had problems with the advance not being stable. I removed
the vacuum can and tied the vacuum advance plate in place with safety wire. So
now I have a centrifugal advance only.
