PROBLEM: Vacuum Advance is trashed (rusted out) and I only need to FIND a vacuum advance that will work with this distributor! ANY help would be greatly appreciated?! The Distributor is from a 1939 Plym Roadking P8.. Distributor part # IGS-4103A-1 I would imagine that NAPA (or another local part store) would surely have something that would work, but the guys at the local NAPA really had no idea about it ( I'm really hoping for a solution that won't require me having to wait for part to be shipped, but at this point, ugh... I would also like to avoid paying $100 for a 'vintage' replacement.... Ideas?
I've run my 41 Chrysler 6 without a vacuum advance for years. I did find one on ebay but haven't gotten around to installing it yet. Check over on the P15-D24 site.
So just toss the distrib back in there without the advance connect to it or the carb? I am interested in how this would affect performance with a '50 P23 running a newly rebuilt '39 distrib... I also read somewhere that there would be no accel / cruising power if run without the advance? Noticable? Thanks for the reply!! I can't wait to get this on the road.
